Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, The Punisher.
“This film is a war crime against cinema.”

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. The Punisher knows its audience.

The Punisher: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

The Punisher should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

The cinematography in The Punisher is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched The Punisher last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Hot Take: The Punisher's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, The Punisher would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Punisher?
Just got out of The Punisher and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
