A reviewer for Ain’t It Cool News has seen The Punisher film and offers his insights on just how well the film is carried off:
"In the end, the success or failure of this film rests on two pairs of shoulders. Thomas Jane holds up his end of the deal, and his work here should open some doors for the guy finally.

"And Jonathan Hensleigh deserves high marks for focusing on his cast over effects, character over explosions, and substance over style, " the reviewer wrote.
