That was an excellent one.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
OUTSTANDING little movie!!! Tom Jane is fantastic as frank castle & infact this mini movie is the absolute BEST that the Punisher has ever been seen on screen EVER!!! Yep the Netflix series is AWESOME but this film & Toms performance are perfect exactly what i imagine frank castle as the Punisher to be. Brutal & ultra violent, love it!!! This is the type of punishment these gangs of thugs deserve & it's BEAUTIFUL. So want Tom Jane back as the Punisher in another movie like this gritty & brutal!!! The Punisher (2004) was also a great film & I'm a huge fan of it & Thomas Jane as frank castle he's great. So just watch this
Did anyone else even realise this existed? It flew thoroughly under my radar.Now I'm one of the few people who really enjoyed The Punisher (2004) though Thomas Jane was hardly the best choice of Frank Castle he did a solid job and the movie was really watchable despite Travolta's best efforts.This 10 minute short is literally Castle doing laundry and taking a couple of minutes out to talk to wheelchair bound shopkeep Ron Perlman before beating up a bunch of thugs with a bottle of whiskey.I don't understand how or why Jane & Perlman agreed to do with 8yrs after the original movie but it is somewhat overwhelming and doesn't fit with The Punisher character.It's almost like he is apprehensive about even helping! I suppose this is a harmless enough watch for fans but brings nothing new to the franchise and won't help with getting The Punisher into the real Marvel universe.The Good: Thomas Jane The Bad: I don't know why it even exists Frank Castles behaviour is out of character Perlman is wasted Things I Learnt From This Short: Jack Daniels bottles are made of adamantium
The Punisher: Dirty Laundry, is a short film that is nothing but awesome fan service. Seriously, I've been waiting for the day that Thomas Jane embodies Frank Castle again. This right here is that sequel we always wanted. Unfortunately, it is only a 10 minute long short. But, we get some nice stuff here.The Good: Tom Jane is the perfect Punisher. He is so dang good in the role! His performance is out of this world! Also, nice Ron Perlman cameo! Very cool. The story here is very Punisher-esque, along with the ideals of punishment and justice that Frank speaks of at the end and with Perlman's character. Nice photography as well. I love the new Punisher logo too!The Bad: Since this is a short film, the blood and gun effects are pretty lousy. We also get some over the top violence that I think even Garth Ennis would not write into his books. It's violent alright, but not the violence I enjoyed from the 2004 film. It's bloody and gory, but too more gore and they lose me. Also, the score is the Dark Knight score. It pulls me right out of the story when I hear it used here. Wish they used something else, oh well.Overall, this is Thomas Jane as The Punisher again. Need I say more?
I happened to stumble across this while checking out the recent stories from Comic Con 12. Wow! Am I glad that I did. This 10 minute short is absolutely superb! It's dark, gritty, dramatic and has a sense of realism to it that makes it that much more enthralling. I always loved Thomas Jane as the punisher character Frank Castle but felt that the rest of the movie wasn't done as well as it could have been. This short has the atmospheric tension and drama that the movie was missing, as the street thugs continue to run rampant the suspense and tension continuously builds until it gets to the stage where we know what must be done. Punishment.Also some of the shots used were just sublime, the slow motion shot of Frank Castle crossing the street while throwing the Jack Daniels bottle in the air is awesome! You forgive the poor blood effects given it was made by Thomas Jane as a fan/tribute video but by god, did they do a fantastic job!Have to give a nod to the acting in general, Thomas Jane is the punisher and performed greatly as expected but the surprise appearance by Ron Pearlman was terrific and his acting as nothing but a store clerk was amazing and very convincing.If you are yet to see it, do yourselves a favor and get onto YouTube to watch it! I hope that this ends up being seen by the right people and Thomas Jane gets picked up to reprise his role as the most bad-ass vigilante to grace the silver screen."What's the difference between justice and punishment?"
