It's interesting that someone brought up the Punisher, because Boondock Saints blatantly plagiarizes this series, among other things.
It kind of does. But it was still a great movie. If it wasn't a great movie, it would have never generated the following it did despite only opening in 5 theaters and going straight to video.
