The Punisher
Written & Directed by Michael Mann
Starring:
Thomas Jane as Frank Castle
It's set ten years in Castle's war on crime and the families are feeling the pinch. They bring in Billy Russo, their former enforcer, who's just returned from a prison stay. As the only man to survive a violent encounter with The Punisher and someone with whom he'd like to settle up, the families use him as bait for Castle.
Unfortunately, Russo has his own ideas, takes over the mobs and starts a violent campaign against Castle, killing whoever gets in his way and doing whatever he can to get his attention - and to get his own revenge.
The trick is in adding more and more meat to the story - focusing on things that reveal the characters and their similarities.
