so do they show how his family dies again like the first film or do they skip all that and they just mention how his family dies?

[eagletrigger]

they show it again as it happened according to the comic book, not from the tom jane movie. it's just a set of brief flashbacks, but you can see him playing with his kids then holding there bloody corpses. Oddly enough, though, i don't his wife was ever shown.... or i may have missed it.

i thought stallone would be better at both directing and acting

[eagletrigger]

nah. then you'd have a two hour movie of him going "mutter mumble muttermuttermutter. ADRIENNE!" :P

[drktigger]

the Irish accent Jamaican guy had that Irish accent because he grew up in an Irish neighborhood (from what I remember from the comics)

[eagletrigger]

then that makes sense. but it would have been nice for the writers to at least say something about that for those of us that never read the comics.

This movie is a must see for punisher fans if you love the comic go see it if you love gore go see it. If you like to see the punisher being portrayed as a boyscout with a gun you may want ot avoid this one and pick up the 2004 version. If your like me and you love over the top blood, guts, death, dismemberment and action then this is the film for you. Nuff said true believers.

The "Jamaican" WAS Irish. The "Russian" was ROMANIAN. Shoulda paid more attention. The film was CAMPY. The accents were SUPPOSED to be ridiculous. That's what made it FUNNY. The RPG was "supposed to do" what??? Are you serious? It's a COMIC BOOK MOVIE, ferpetessakes. Did you like it's comic book movieness, yes or no? ...the "accents"... Ferpetessakes. Oh, and Tom Jane doesn't hold a CANDLE to Ray Stevenson.

Not sure if anyones covered this with you all ready, yet im sure someone has. The black characters name was Mcginty. ..He is a Irish man. That is also exactly how the character looks in the books aswell. Whats a irish person suppose to look like? A leprechaun? lol

[817riverparkmusic]

its not an RPG!

[ghostbuster56]

yep even the bar where jigsaw was recruiting bad guys was called kitchen irish

[thatkrazyguyukno]

I give this movie an A-!! It was such a great action film!!

The Jamacian with the Irish accent was placed there purposely.

[deadskinmask213]

Thanks

[cyco858]

nice stan lee reference

[JJJ10JJJ]

yeah that chandaller part kind of seemed stolen from Boondock Saints

[lysander1]

also... i think there is more to acting than accents. btw i did enjoy ur review!

[lysander1]

the "jamaican" guy is maginty... a very clever south bronx/irish character from the kitchen irish story. its a great nod to the fans that hes there at all!
