Spoken by someone who knows nothing about action movies. Yes... At times Dolphs acting and Lou Gossips are really bad... Same with Mr. Krabbe... But, there are times when they just nail the scenes and characters and its amazing...
BUT!!! This is a cheesy action movie, and it has one heck of a kill count.
Unlike the tom jane punisher... which is BORING!!!
Also, watch the end action sequence. It has three of the best choreographed fight scenes of ALL TIME! The fights each tell a unique story, but also merge together to tell one great story. First fight Punisher uses his brain over brawn as he realizes the guy is a bit too much for him to handle... Second fight... With him tired and worn out a bit from the first fight. He uses his size and muscle power to beat the quicker more agile woman... Third fight. He is completely spent. And at a disadvantage... But, it's his life on the line and he fights tooth and nail in what would otherwise be an easy fight for him to win.
Simply great fight choreography. And if you don't like action movies... Then don't watch those kinds of movies. But, the movie is amazing. And amazingly cheesy. But, that was what it was meant to be. So many peoples opinions of this film would be different if he had a freaking skull on his chest. BUT, blame Marvel... They sold the rights to the film but denied the use of the skull on the chest. It was in the script.
