Frank Castle has nothing left but
vengence after his family is killed by a gang war. Now he has sworn to
get rid of any criminals he comes across but working as a vigilante and
no longer as an officer of the law. It will take all he's got and maybe
more if he intends to finish off the threat he has to face next.
This movie was ok but not as explosive as the comic book is. Not to
mention having to see Dolph down in the sewers meditating nude isn't
the idealistic superhero that you would want to see in a movie. I'd say
you should see this version first before you see the newest version to
get a feel for the character.
Rating: 2 of 5 stars
