The Punisher Review

The Punisher.

Synopsis:

After exacting revenge on the people responsible for the deaths of his wife and children, Frank Castle uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than New York's criminal underworld. Now known as the Punisher, he must dig deep into the conspiracy to discover the truth about injustices that affect more than just him and his family. Assisting the vigilante in his quest to fight criminals are best friend Billy Russo, who runs private military corporation Anvil, and former NSA analyst Micro, who shares common enemies with Castle and helps him as part of a so-called marriage of convenience.

We continue Frank Castles story as he intends to live a normal life and then he is pulled back into a world of chaos he'd so desperately tried to leave behind, discovering that there was more to the killing of his family and the people behind it. The Punisher shines brighter, even more so than the  supposedly bigger street level superheroes in the Netflix shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage). Jon Bernthals's performance is top-notch. Some beautifully executed events were the fight scene with the Jazz song in the background and the growing relationship between Frank Castle and David Lieberman. The show didn't make me feel like proper retribution took place, I mean The Punisher's mantra is "No Trials, No Bullshit." It  left so many questions, which would hopefully be answered if it were ever renewed for a second season 

Bottom line, it is so good that it's doing better than it should be, it was a decent telling of Frank Castle's story the previous movies never did well. 8/10
