Though they tried making this one to be a "cult classic" film like "Usual Suspects" this movie did a good job at keeping you interested in the main character through out the film. I highly recommend watching the prequel to Friday if you get a chance.
*This is not a prequel to Friday but if it were, that'd be hilarious.
Main stream comic fans have all but forgotten this classic movie because it was before the age of Iron Man, but Thomas Jane's portrayal as the bringing of death was pretty spot on. A shame he wasn't given the chance to reprise his role when the new MCU took over.
*If you want to see more of Thomas Jane's Punisher check out the short film he made called "Dirty Laundry" on YouTube. It was an early bid to reprise his role that Marvel Studios didn't take the bait on but should've!
Such a brilliant movie from Stephen King's story and probably one of the best adapted into a film. It's a beautiful thought provoking film that is good (and sad) to the very end. I need to own a copy of this I think. It's that good!
*Fans of the Walking Dead will see a lot of familiar faces in this movie as well!
Probably his best film was portraying Mickey Mantle for the Yankees. He does a spot on impression of him at the bat because Jane is Canadian and never learned to play baseball until this movie was made! Hence when he learned how to swing at a pitch, he did it the exact same way Mantle did in real life! Great performance, great movie!
*The asterisk in the title is there on purpose, since historically MLB did not want to give Mantle the Homerun title outright from it's current holder Babe Ruth. Fantastic story if you ever wish to read about it!
