3rd time wasn't much of a charm.

I was a hardcore Punisher fan waaay back in the early 90's, so I have a soft spot for the character. Out of the 3 flims, this one is easily the closest to the way Frank Castle should be portrayed. Thomas Jane missed the mark in the last Punisher film, while Ray Stevenson pretty much nails it. Watching Stevenson play a non neutered Frank was basically the only reason I stuck around for the entire film cuz there were a ton of spots that were hard to sit through. We had throwaway characters with horribly cheesy/stereotypical accents, unnatural dialog, forced acting, odd uses of slow motion...I could go on, but don't wanna ruin it for ya.
If you're someone who's just looking for a movie with action/gore with inventive kills and action scenes, you might like this. If you're a fan of the Punisher comics, you might think Marvel is close to getting a Punisher movie right, but just not there yet.
