The undercover agent Frank Castle (Tom Jane) kills the son of the powerful mobster Howard Saint (John Travolta) in Tampa during an FBI operation. Howard orders his gangsters to execute the whole family of Frank, who is on vacation in a family reunion in Porto Rico. He miraculously survives the attack, and becomes "The Punisher", executing the criminals without trial.
This version of "The Punisher" is a good action movie, supported by a great cast with names such as John Travolta, Will Patton, Tom Jane, Rebecca Romijm-Stamos, Roy Scheider, and an enjoyable story. There are some good lines, such as when Frank says: "-It is not a vengeance, it is punishment!"; or when the man who saved Frank says to him: "- Go with God", and he asks to leave God out of his business. I personally prefer the Dolph Lundgren's version of 1989. The 2004 version is a higher budget film, with a constellation of stars, but the other version is darker and with more action. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "O Justiceiro" ("The Vigilante")
