even flaw one and this film work in fulfillment of that . it plot isn not entirely realistic and feel like a comic book story yet in some strange way it work . this film deliver what most viewer probably want from it . an action anti hero . of course there many problem with what be put forth here such a violence be use to try and solve the problem of violence and the mugger character get gun down always be almost faceless and unknown and evil . still when the world seem an awful place and when it seem like justice isn not be do in the real world . at least in the movie it seem the hero can win . and that where this movie charm lie . in there somewhere . this film be most likely the inspiration for the comic book character name the punisher . have talent like charles bronson and vincent gardenia certainly do not hurt the film any either . i find it surprisingly engage .
