Frank Castle (Thomas Jane) túl sok szörnyűséget látott katonaként, majd különleges FBI-ügynökként. Úgy érzi, végre itt az ideje, hogy normális életet éljen felesége, Maria (Samantha Mathis) és a kisfia mellett. Már csak egy utolsó feladat vár rá, de a balul sikerült akció során egy fiatalember az életét veszti. A meggyilkolt fiú apja, Howard Saint (John Travolta) egy gazdag üzletember, aki ugyan nagy megbecsültségnek örvend, de nem tagja a floridai elitnek, mégpedig azért, mert vagyonát kétes alvilági üzletekből szerezte. Saint és felesége, Livia (Laura Harring) bosszút fogadnak fiuk halála miatt, és a Castle család kiirtására törekszenek. (Mozi+)

I'm surprised I was skeptical about this film at first and put it off, because The Punisher is exactly the kind of film I adore. The perfect revenge of an ultra pissed off cop losing his entire family, with Thomas Jane playing a great hero that you root for and keep your fingers crossed for, the guy has incredible charisma. Standing against him is the psychopathic John Travolta, a ruthless gangster with more ruthless cronies (that two meter tall, 150 kilogram Russian was a terrible asshole). Amazing entertainment, perfect action, solid brutality, one-liners, I watched until 3am and my eyes flashed with happiness. I miss movies like this!!! 80%

A büntető film nem az, aminek az előzetesben tetteti magát, és nem is az, aminek a fotók alapján tűnik. Ez nem egy sötét, látványos akcióképregény a nagy bosszúról. Lehet, hogy a bosszúról szól, de a módszerek, ahogyan Jonathan Hensleigh író-rendező ezt bemutatja, elcsépelt Seagal-sorozatokkal kezdődik, majd tucatnyi olcsó beszólással és önmaga akaratlan paródiájával folytatódik. Ami egyedül megbocsátható a filmnek, az a rosszfiúk váratlan, szórakoztató elintézése.

When the best thing about a whole movie is the main character's shirt, something is wrong. To be fair, though, there are two scenes that make this nonsense is survivable: the initial disposal of Castle's family has a certain amount of impact, and the fight with the Russian muscle-head to the accompaniment of an operatic aria, which is not without its comic exaggeration. The rest, full of ridiculous, pathetic poses, does not do credit to the creators, nor to the fluffy and dynamic comic book premise itself. Although I think Travolta shouldn't climb in front of the camera anymore, here he was mysteriously tolerable, while the mediocre Thomas Jane might not need a Shakespearean training for such a role, but I resisted the onslaught of my diaphragm every time I saw his badass face. But during the scene when the elevator goes up and there's Thomas turning on it, with a taut body under his tattered tank top and a harsh look on his face, I burst out laughing, I really couldn't help it :)

“We aren’t just happy, we’re crazy! " Well, I understand why The Punisher became a cult movie in certain circles. An ingeniously bad movie. You need a real big does of talent to film something... like this. After just a couple of minutes of watching, you will tell yourself that it couldn’t be any stupider. But the opposite applies, unfortunately. Every word is outrageously bad. The Punisher is a movie that you won’t forget for a long time and one that will always brighten your day. So what if the effect is completely different than intended by the creators?

The main reason why The Punisher failed is the script. It fails not only with poorly written dialogues but also with a weak plot. The relatively solid cast – Thomas Jane, John Travolta, Will Patton, Samantha Mathis, and Rebecca Romijn – is wasted. If the film had been in the hands of someone like Tony Scott or John Woo, it could have been a top-notch gritty action ride. As it stands, however, it is just an ordinary action movie, of which we can see hundreds if not thousands these days.
