Studio: Ingram Entertainment Release Date: 07/22/2003 Starring: Dolph Lundgren Jereon Krabbe Run time: 92 minutes Rating: R Director: Mark Goldblatt Amazon.com: First, a few facts. Dolph Lundgren expresses emotions ranging from stoic to, well, really stoic. There are holes in the story large enough to pilot the Exxon Valdez through without spilling a drop. And the film is littered with action movie clichés. But none of this matters. The Punisher succeeds because it stays true to its origins, the Marvel comic of the same name. Studio-engineered films such as Batman never quite capture the mixture of loyalty and betrayal, justice and revenge, moral ambiguity and emotional truth that are the hallmarks of the graphic novel. Films such as Darkman do. So does The Punisher. Lundgren plays Frank Castle, a dedicated policeman whose family was wiped out in a mob hit. He went underground (literally) and, as the Punisher, has been exacting his revenge, killing 125 mobsters in the past five years. But when the yakuza (Japanese Mafia) moves in on the mob's territory and kidnaps their children, it's up to the Punisher to rescue the kids. The action blazes, Lundgren (a former full-contact karate champ) moves with feral grace, the production design is a pleasure to watch, and director Mark Goldblatt (whose credits as editor include such big films as Starship Troopers and True Lies) has a clean, efficient style. --Geof Miller Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - This film was a disgrace! (019)As a long time fan of The Punisher, I remember being VERY excited when this movie came out, and how disappointed I was after I'd paid good money to see it. After seeing both the 2nd and 3rd Punisher movies, I thought I'd go back and watch the 1st one again. It's been 20 years since I've seen it. Now I remember why. Where is The Punisher when you really need him? Frank Castle should hunt down every single person who had anything to do with this sham comic adaptation and PUNISH THEM! Do not waste your ...

PunisherI was sooo flabbergasted to know that AMAZON had The original Puniaher!!!! Also it was at a great price! I am so happy I finally got to see it and it was in great condition. Rating: - "Here is justice. Here is punishment. Here...in me."I have never read the "Punisher" comics, have only seen snatches of Punisher: War Zone, and actually liked 2004's The Punisher; that is my extent of giving a fan's review of how this, the original film version, stacks up to its successors and source material. I am, however, a fan of Dolph Lundgren, and will do my best to review it as such and not stray over into territory which I'm ignorant of. With that said, no matter what you think of the film, this is definitely the vehicle that turned Dolph into ...

I liked the idea of having Dolph Lundgren as the Puniser and Louis Gossett Jr. was great in this movie like any other. The story was lamb, the punisher didn't even have the skull shirt!!! HOW GAY!!! THIS MOVIE SUCKED. I'm a major Punisher FAN! Don't waste your time on this version. THE THOMAS JANE version is the BEST!!! Please...if you have this version of the movie, before you watch it...wipe your ass with it and burn it!!!! The Punisher Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
