Honestly, I’m not really familiar with the comic-books concerning this character but he sure seems pretty badass. But like many minor comic-book character (yes, I think he is not really famous compared to the likes of Superman, Batman, Spider-man or the X-men), he never managed to reach much success in the film world. For the 2nd time around, they tried to start a franchise around The Punisher,... read more

The Punisher

“You can almost see the film that Jonathan Hensleigh was trying to make if you squint and turn your face at just the right angle during any scene of The Punisher. It’s one built upon the rough, gritty cinema of Don Siegel, John Frankenheimer, and Sam Peckinpah, but without their eye for composition or making the most of a thin budget. Hensleigh just populates his film with rote characterizations, laughable sequences, and a particularly awful performance from John Travolta during a decade where his performances were near uniformly atrocious.
