Fans of Marvel’s new series, Daredevil: Born Again, should check out this other action-filled adaptation of a comic book legend. The Punisher, released in 1989, starred Dolph Lundgren as the police officer turned vigilante in a troubled film that has been hailed as one of the most honest adaptions of the character.

So, at least some of the elements are still in place.

The rest of the cast includes Louis Gossett, Jr., Jeroen Krabbé, Kim Miyori, Bryan Marshall, Todd Boyce,...
