A Geeky Viewpoint

The Punisher

Released: 2004
Final Score: 10/32
Jeff's Score 13/32

An undercover FBI agent becomes a vigilante assassin and sets out to unleash vengeance upon the corrupt businessman who slew his family.

What the Critics Said: A good cast fails to elevate this overly violent and by-the-numbers revenge flick.

What I said: How is this not a rated R film for the violence and other stupidity?

I chided Daredevil because it didn't know whether it was a campy or serious comic book movie, here I am chiding The Punisher because it pretends to not be a comic book movie at all.     I should point out The Punisher is middle slotted group of nine films within tenths of a point of one another.   This film has its supporters as it is the third most ranked film is correlation of ticket sales to scoring in places like rottentomtatoes and imdb.com.
