THE PUNISHER - Rated 18 - More sadistic violence...

Check here.

Just glad to see more and more 18 rated films. For a few years now most films have tried to aim for the lower age bracket (PG-13 in the US). But now we`re getting lots of R-rated big budget films again. Hopefully Troy follows Gladiator and goes for the more bloody and realistic approach (but that would be a brave move, considering the $200m budget).

Anyway, The Punisher trailer was poor, and the reviews Stateside have been pretty bad... really f***ing awful actually. But I`ll check this out because it`s a comic book movie... and will be violent :D

Besides, it can`t be as bad as the Dolph Lundgren version :p

Yeah i want to see this to and think Thomas Jane will give the charater a bit of an edge, I`m also looking forward to Man of Fire (seen the original film with Scott Glen which was pretty lame, book was great though) it`s surpose to be a very violent straight forward revenge movie, it`s got an R rating in the States so i reckon it will get an 18 over here




It`s not revenge it`s punishment >:(

Thomas Jane? He`s adapted the action hero moniker Tom Jane! :D

Ahh, but is it going to be as good as the Dolph Lundgren version?

MAN ON FIRE has been passed as an 18 as well (uncut). But the p***er is that it`s not getting released until September according to the BBFC >:(

Still, it looks frickin good :D

This is getting really stupid with release dates, first hellboy now this no wonder people buy or download pirate copy`s (personally i would buy a proper copy or see it at the cinema with decent sound and picture) and the film companys/distributors wonder why piracy is so rife, still maybe the region 1 dvd will be out before it comes out over here >:(

What`s that object called in a bath, when you pull it it lets all the water drain out? ;)

I thought it was supposed to be quite poor, it`s directed by Tony Scott isn`t it?
