Thank you for actually responding to the subject of the post.

I totally agree about the flashback, I kept thinking "what's point of all this" even after you realize Kirigi killed her mother it didn't change anything, Kirigi was still gonna die at the end like all the other villains.

You may be on the to something with the miscasting, Alba should have traded places with Garner. She would have made a more convincing Sue and believable natural blonde and Alba would have looked more convincingly Greek.

Hollywood's need to plant a love story in every film and humanize every character can cock up an existing character mythos. I haven't seen the Punisher movie yet either but I'd be really surprised if he isn't made to be saving some kid or something generically redeeming like that. When in my view the Punisher is a dick, the whole anti-hero, kill the killers and the criminal justice system and moral quandaries be damned.
