The Punisher

"The Punisher" details the abuse of the comic book antihero in his first and only screen outing. After the mafia murders his wife and children, New York cop Frank Castle disappears into the bowels of the city sewer system, planning his revenge. He spends the next couple of years stepping out of and back into the urban shadows as he picks off Gotham's big-shot Italian gangsters. Then Lady Tanaka, a fiery Japanese crime-lord, enters this grim scene and heads begin to roll. Castle initially gets a kick out of her bloody antics and the newly cannibalistic underworld. But when Tanaka and her cronies kidnap a rival's kids, Castle decides to intercede and show her exactly how killing is done in the Big Apple. (official distributor synopsis)
