That was Ray Parks

(I'd ask "What was the writer thinking??", but since it was screenwriter Jonathan "Live Free or Die Hard" Hensleigh's Big-Time Break for directing, we pretty much know what he was thinking, and he probably wasn't choosy.)

Now that Marvel calls their own shots, I'm guessing this is one more Incredible-Hulk style "reboot", to keep things back under the safe-and-sane canon label--
As in, "Yes, we know it was somebody else's production that slipped through a contract loophole, but what the HECK was Frank Castle doing in Miami, anyway??--He's a Marvel New Yorker! "

Supposedly it's full-out sequel, taking him to New York (I do agree...Miami?)
The Dave and Joan and fat guy were taken from the Ennis (I believe) story arc, also involving the Russian. The only real problem I had with the writing on that part was; it was already done in the comics. But, most comic movies seem to be story-arcs ripped straight out of the comics...there's not a whole lot of originality on the writer's parts.
