Valutazione di Kenneth Hitt
David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club) manages to sow a nearly nonexistent sow's ear into a silk purse on this one. The film was made without the benefit of a concrete script, yet is brought out of the doldrums thanks to Fincher's expert direction, and the amazing cast which was assembled for the production including Charles S. Dutton, Charles Dance, Danny Webb, Paul McGann, and of course Sigourney Weaver.
If possible, check out the longer extended version available as part of the recent Alien Quadrilogy boxed set. It adds multiple new dimensions to what has, over time, become my favorite film in the series.

No, this is not CITIZEN KANE. But it is an entertaining film that did make a somewhat unbelievable Marvel "hero" to celluloid.
Lundgren plays Frank Castle, a former NYPD detective (originally a military special ops expert in the comic) who loses his family to a mob hit. This pushes his already unstable personality over the edge, and he becomes a one-man judge, jury, and executioner. The VERY underrated Louis Gossett Jr. plays his former partner, determined to find him and keep him out of the gas chamber.
This movie is quite a decent action film. It actually delves quite deeply into the characters' motivations, their histories, their personalities. I agree with earlier comments that, out of the lot of action stars, Lundgren does bring at least some dramatic chops to the role. I really couldn't imagine Schwarzenegger playing this part, though Stallone or Willis might have been better choices.
The action sequences are done quite well for a low-budget film. The director, Mark Goldblatt, served as editor on films such as TERMINATOR 1 & 2, the underrated PREDATOR 2, TRUE LIES, STARSHIP TROOPERS, ARMAGEDDON, and PEARL HARBOR, so he definitely has knowledge of how to properly compose an action sequence. He also served as Paul Verhoeven's 2nd Unit Director on the original ROBOCOP.
The movie is rather tough to find, and though it strays away a bit from the source material, it does manage to flesh out a rather one-dimensional character.
A new version of THE PUNISHER is now being prepped, starring DREAMCATCHER's Thomas Jane as Frank Castle and directed by Jonathan Hensleigh.

I used to like this movie, until I read the novel by Richard Bachman, AKA Stephen King. Now, I can't stand it. It symbolizes everything that is wrong with novel adaptations...created characters, imagined scenarios, perversions of ideas...and one liners from Ah-Nult!
Easily the worst literary adaptation EVER.
