Directed by Jonathan Hensleigh from a screenplay by Hensleigh and Michael France, based on the Marvel Comics character, the 2004 version of The Punisher has the following synopsis:
The Punisher walks through the world we all know, a world darkened by war, crime, cruelty, and injustice. He has no superpowers to battle the evil he sees — only his fierce intelligence, his years of combat experience and, above all, his iron determination to avenge those wronged by society’s villains.

The Punisher wasn’t a huge hit when it was released and isn’t one of the most popular comic adaptations out there, so it seems kind of random that it’s getting this Best Buy steelbook release out of nowhere, just in time for its 18th anniversary… but it is a good movie, and the steelbook looks pretty cool. So as odd as this release seems, I’m all for it.
The steelbook’s artwork can be seen below.
