Someone was asking about this and as I caught a screening of it last week I'm posting a review.
STORY
A cops family are killed at his retirement party by a mob boss who's son was killed in the cops last arrest. The cop punishes him.
PROS
- good set pieces
- courage to be really violent in places
- Thomas Jane & John Travolta are good leads
- decent non violent revenge twists in story
CONS
- not enough Rebecca sjomifn stamos (or however her names spelt - anyway that bint from 'Species' & X-men)
VERDICT
Great lads night out fun - terrifically violent in parts & utterly ludicrous - check out the guy who gets a knife shoved under his chin and through his mouth! Just great action entertainment - switch off your brain and enjoy! Although Travolta's sidekick does look like The Edge from U2. Good set piece with a huge Russian and the Punisher beating hell out of each other to the tune of an operatic aria!
