Movie Review: The Punisher

Bottom line: I thought this film was an average film but a pretty good adaptation of the comic book.

For the most part, the Punisher is a brooding, dark film. The Punisher, as always is pretty meticulous with delivering his "punishment" and that makes the film good. Also well done was the origin and backstory for the Punisher. With minor changes, the story stays true to the comics, and even includes a few elements directly from them.

The script isn't anything amazing, the acting is about average, and some of the peripheral characters seem a bit unncessary. The one thing they missed but tried to capture was the dark humor that Ennis infused the comic book with during the early part of his Marvel Knights run.
