INTENSE REVENGE TALE, Nov 21 2011
By sabu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Punished (DVD)
The great Anthony Wong stars in this movie as a wealthy father whose daughter is kidnapped then killed. He orders his bodyguard/assassin to track down those responsible for her death. This results in an action filled, intense hunt as he locates and exacts his boss' revenge on each villain along the line and films their demise on orders from the father.

Revenge Is Sweet, Jan 23 2012
By bridget3420 "Bridget Hopper" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Punished (DVD)
Over the weekend, my husband I watched Punished on DVD. I find myself drawn to movies that revolve around crimes and revenge, so after seeing a preview for this film, I added it to my list of movies to see. I was fascinated with the plot and the acting was great. Punished has a unique feel to it and I'm glad to have it in my collection.Disclosure: I received a copy of this DVD for review purposes. All opinions expressed are 100% my own.

Another Asian crime revenge film, Feb 3 2012

Revenge is a common theme in Chinese action films, and even just in the filmography of producer Johnnie To, who is best known for another film called Vengeance. This one is called Punished, though it is somewhat of an untraditional revenge film. There are more layers of plot and morality than the average revenge film, though it packs just as much excitement.
Punished begins as a rather unpleasant family melodrama. It feels like a Chinese episode of "The Sopranos" when the drug habit of a powerful man (Anthony Wong) becomes more than just an embarrassment. Her behavior threatens business, which somehow feels slightly less than legitimate, but none of this is an issue when the daughter is suddenly kidnapped. The reasons for this kidnapping are unknown, and even after the ransom is paid she is killed just the same.
This is when it becomes a revenge film, though there is a certain level of distance in this vengeance. Instead of dirtying his hands with the act of murdering the people responsible for his daughter's death, the tycoon hires his ex-bodyguard (Richie Jen) to do it instead. Determined to make enough money to ensure his son's financial stability in life, this bodyguard is willing to throw everything away in order to destroy the culprits. He videotapes the deaths and sends them back to his boss, who only becomes involved with the final death.
