Review
Wow. Despite the blood and violence, I still fell completely in love with this film. I don't have a lot of comic book background, but still, I was able to appreciate the simple storyline of this film: revenge. Revenge is the fueling f... read more

“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.

Villans of Marvel (no cinematographic universe) 
Movies Viewed in 2018 (361 movies items)"Brutal and violent thriller based on a Marvel character with Thomas Jane as Frank Castle, a man who loses everything to gangster John Travolta, when Castle's whole family is massacred.

Travolta hams it up but the film will be remembered for the brutal use of a paper guillotine. "
