Lundgren, an inexpressive actor, is perfect as a graphic cipher: his face was made to be drawn in ink and filled in with broad washes of color. Carefully tended facial stubble trimmed to give him a skull-like appearance, Lundgren is truly impressive as a character defined by emotional emptiness.
Set against this is the blithe humour of the proceedings, a welcome shortage of love interest, Dolph's minimalist wit, and two arch-villainesses attired in black plastic and other form-fitting fabrics. Destructive, reprehensible, and marvellous fun.

The best Punisher movie ever and probably the best representation of punisher ever.
Report
The Punisher have an interesting story, the movie has it moments of good and the movie also have a moments of boring, an average action sequence fills with the biggest problem i have with this movie, it's pretty badly perform by all the cast, so overall The Punisher is not a complete garbage but it still an unwatchable film.
Report
Dolph Lundgren looks just as if he’s stepped out of a comic book. Thankfully, he breezes through the B-grade plot with tongue firmly placed in cheek.
At times a subversive, sub-Marvel thrill, it might be best to come back to this after the glut of goody-goody heroes due to bombard our screens have passed.
This is bad af bro, this is not the essence of punisher, and the movie feels sooo dumb
Report
The second Marvel live-action film ever is just competent enough to keep it out of so-bad-it's-good territory. Whether or not this works in the film's favor is entirely subjective.
