Action/Adventure and Crime/Gangster
2 hrs. 04 min. Frank Castle (Thomas Jane) is a man who has seen too much death
in his life, first as a Delta Force Op and later as an FBI special agent.
He has managed to beat considerable odds, and is finally moving out of the
field and into a normal life with his wife and son. On his final assignment,
Castle plays his undercover role perfectly, but the operation spins out of
control. This places the FBI on the wrong side of Tampa businessman Howard
Saint (John Travolta) and his glamorous wife Livia (Laura Harring). Notwithstanding
their glossy social profile, the Saints are no genteel Florida couple; behind
their copious wealth are violent beginnings, underworld ties and a
chilling capacity for brutality. Castles worst nightmare is about to
come true, as Howard Saint and his lieutenants unleash hell at the Castle
family reunion. But Castle, to his everlasting torment, survives. Drawing
upon all he has learned in 20 years, Castle sets in motion a brilliant plan
to punish the murderers. He takes up residence among in a dilapidated tenement
building on Tampas industrial waterfront, where his fellow tenants include
Joan (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), a waitress at a nearby diner who is trying to
put her life back on track. Castles neighbors become his last link to
the idea of human community and warmth. It is this makeshift family
forgotten men and women with no one to protect them - who enable Castle to
find the one thing he least expects: redemption.
