This film was obviously a pilot for a T.V show that never happened. There are several similarities between this and the original Punisher movie from the late 80's (the way his family were killed, knives with owl's heads on them instead of skulls). This movie was based on a book but I still think they've ripped off The Punisher too obviously. This movie is not as good as The Punisher but is still decent. I'm sure the series would have been okay but if it had been made and lasted more than one season, Adrian Paul would not have been able to do the Highlander series, which was one of my favourite shows of the 90's and I thought Adrian was good in it.
