He was sort of a vulnerable, geeky, brave guy who in the end, stood up for what he believed to be right...and he paid for it. I didn't actually realize that was him in that role, good call babe!

What did you think of him in the Punisher?

To me it was a very odd cameo and it seemed like an odd detour for the characters at first, but put in the context of the entire movie, I actually liked that scene. Good catch.

Ben Wade was so charming and smart, yet sooo dangerous and evil. I kept wondering what his fate would be. I hate it when they make the villains out to be heroes, like all their killing is unexcused because "people like them". It just contradicts itself. But real life is like that too a lot of times. The jerks and hunks get all the fame and money. The normal guy who devotes his life to his family and works steadily to provide never gets the hero award.

I have it on my Netflix queue so it's coming pretty soon. Some people have said that it's a slow movie, and I don't know if they were telling me that as a negative aspect of it or not, but johnny, would you say the pace of the movie is spot on? -What cameo are you referring to?
