Reviews

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Among the recent spate of comic-book movies, from "Spider-Man" to the "X-Men," The Punisher is unique.

Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan
Unlike some of its recent ilk – "Spider-Man," for example – The Punisher is, no disrespect, a thoroughly morose and bilious affair. That is precisely what I like best about it.
50
Philadelphia Inquirer - Unnamed
For such a formulaic vigilante film, The Punisher has a far better cast than it deserves.
50
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
The most entertaining scenes focus on the lovable louts and losers who share the boardinghouse where the protagonist - based on a comic-book character billed as a superhero without superpowers - prepares his grisly exploits. The rest is mayhem.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The Punisher isn't Frank Castle; it's Jonathan Hensleigh. And the punishee is anyone sitting in the audience.
