The Shrine

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>settign up the wife and best friend definitely isn't punisher style. I mean the punisher kills everyone he doesn't play mind games...he just kills. This was actually something I liked because it was more evil than the punisher is in the comics.

And him having a good relationship with his family was a good thing. That's why he snapped. even in the comics he had an idyllic relationship with his family. That's what turned him into the punisher. plus I actually like how the movie did it with having them kill his entire extended family rather than in the comics that it was just his wife and kill</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I thought how he fucked over Howard Saint was pure gold.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Throw in the fact that the Punisher isn't a likable character, the whole unappetizing premise (family members being killed) and the violence...well you have a movie with almost zero target audience.

For the record...it was worth the rental for me....but barely.

KO~</div>
