@NovaPrime Productions The movie is great but the series is better. Also in the original comics Frank Castle is a US Marine, not an FBI Agent, so actually the series got it right. I just think Jon B is better for the role
People seem to not realize how amazing Thomas Jane is as an actor, and how well he portrayed this version. People have to remember that at this point, he watched his wife and son murdered in front of his very eyes, while he was helpless to do anything about it. Through out the entire movie, he is crushed and seething, and all he sees is red. He has one objective and that's kill everyone. Yet, he's calm and collected while he interacts with everyone. Even when he's torturing someone. He shows his intensity during certain situations, but other situations he lets it wash over him. I like to use these examples all the time with this character, and actor. Mel Gibson's character in Lethal Weapon went through a similar scenario. Same emotional trauma as Frank Castle. Both, have tried to commit suicide, but with Castle it was one and done, realizing his purpose to achieve his goal, not caring if he came back or not, and he doesn't purposely put himself into a situation, unless he knows he can win. Gibson's character is more "crazier" and suicidal, throwing himself into situations not really planning them out in the process, or caring what kind of outcome happens. When Jane and his character is listening to this guy play his death threat, he as Frank knows that this guy is gunning for him, yet.. he calmly lets him finish, knowing there are innocent civilians in harms way.. He leaves them out of his business and takes care of him down the road. Literally. You can't read his emotions during this time, because he's so calm about it.. yet, he's fully aware of the situation, knowing at any moment this guy could open fire on him and not care about the innocent people in the diner. Christian Bale and his version of Batman is in a similar boat as Mel and Jane. The only difference is, he shows his anger and intensity a lot more openly through out the movies, and seeing your enemies emotions can always be used against you. Albeit, he's more collected in his thoughts than Mel's character.. but this is what makes Jane and his portrayal far more interesting to watch.
Eric Monaco I wish they would do another Punisher film but I'm excited for the Netflix series i liked this one a little bit more than I did Punisher: War Zone
For one reason or another, i just seen this comment... I started laughin like hell cause i instantly saw Johnny Cash writin this and actin it out!!! Oh the imagination can take us to many places lol...
Mark Collie is a consummate Hack for sure, a genius, he commiserates the true song writer's spirit, conveys it very well! I only wish, this song was longer, love this song!
"I can hear what you're thinkin' All your doubts and fears And if you look in my eyes in time you'll find, The reason I'm here And in time all things shall pass away In time you may come back someday. To live once more Or die once more But in time your time will be no more"
Mark Collie actually portrayed Johnny Cash in a TV short called "I Still Miss Someone". It is up here on youtube if you search for it. He does look the part.
Such an iconic film and scene, thats extremely underrated. With an amazing Cast, Storyline, Soundtrack, and messages I still have no clue why this gets so much hate, but all I know this is extremely under-rated and deserves so much more credit. An intense and comedic film, thats really worth watching. Legendary! ""Si vis pacem, para bellum - If you want peace, prepare for war."
I first watched this a couple of weeks ago and can safely say that this scene was the best, as 1) I'm a muso, and 2) I'm a Johnny Cash fan, and 3) I had the "holy ghost shit" look on my face as Mark aka. Harry just nails the Cash look. Not just that, but this song sounds like it could have come from Johnny's pen.
this one of the best scenes in the movie. he reminds like a mixture of el mariachi and johnny cash. war zone has fierce action-scenes but it doesn´t have memorable moments like this. nice song by the way...
this song is perfect for the movie ( it was made for it, i know, but still... ) with those lyrics mark collie says everything i was just surprised that frank hadn't realised what was coming next
I think this scene is kinda classic; I mean a guy comes into a practically empty diner & starts playing a song to a lone customer; the guys at the counter are like "What the-?….. that was weird!"; I actually really like the song, even considering it's the prelude to the assassination attempt next scene
this film is an under rated gem. way better than your standard action shlock should be. it has it all, great action sequences, interesting characters, comedic timing, excellent editing.
Probably one of the best songs used for a movie that I've seen because the song(although short) is very dark just like the Punisher. one of my all time favorite movie songs ^_^
when he said " im gonna sing it at your funnerel" the expression on his face was jus like " well that just gives me more ofa reasson to live now dont it? muhahha" HAH
Mark Collie's a pretty good actor. He can take these little villain parts and make them entertaining; I liked what he did with that little role in "Fire Down Below" (silly movie, but fun hillbilly villains :P), and he was memorable here. Nice clip. :-)
I love this movie it's sad but heroic and eventhough the punisher is a punisher and not a hero he still did the right thing and it was for his FAMILY his BEUTIFUL BEUTIFUL FAMILY 😢😢😇😇😢
I'd be scared shitless if someone just came out of nowhere like that and sang that song to me with that same exact tone of voice and gesture... tellin me they wrote it for me and they'll sing it at my funeral? haha...
You know your days are numbered, Count them one by one, Like notches in the handle of an outlaw's gun. You can outrun the devil, if you try, But you'll never outrun the hands of time.
