The Punisher Movie
Frank Castle's family was murdered as a payback for his final FBI undercover assignment when the son of a criminal-minded, ruthless businessman named Howard Saint (John Travolta) was mistakenly killed by Castle. He had lost any confidence in the police & courts to put the killer of the family and his thugs behind the bars and aims to wreak vengeance by tracking down the offenders responsible for the demise. He has no superpowers to battle the evil he sees - only his ferocious intelligence, his years of fighting experience and, above all, his iron determination to avenge those rejected by society's criminals. Dave (Ben Foster), Bumpo (John Pinette), and Joan (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) are the Castle's fellow outcasts combined with him to get the job done as he hunts down Saint. Thrilling stunt work, gunfights, and huge explosions are abundant in this creation of Jonathan Hensleigh's directorial mind.
