The Punisher (1989)
The Punisher

Dolph Lundgren wasn't the best choice to play The Punisher, however he was a very interesting choice.

Dolph Lundgren has quite the Russian accent, hearing speak the Punishers lines is kind of eerie in a way.

Louis Gossett Jr. saved this picture with his glorified presence, he made all the worth while to watch.

The Drunk is excellent comic relief.

Every movie based on a comic always screws up the original story as does this one, it screws up the Punishers origin, his family wasn't killed in a car bomb explosion they were killed in a crossfire in the comicbook, I can understand why the writers of this movie made this change, the original used in the comic would be too graphic for the theatres, they had to clean it up a bit.

One more discrepency is the fact we don't see Dolph Lundgren with a skull shirt on this movie, in the comic the hero does, as a matter of fact he is well known for the skull emblem.

I give this movie a 5 out of 10 even though I own a copy of it.

It's very entertaining.
