February 20, 2004 — From Aint It Cool News' review of 'The Punisher':
THE PUNISHER has more in common with the work of Don Seigel and John Frankenheimer than it does with the work of Michael Bay or Simon West. To Hensleighs credit, what hes done here is make a character-driven revenge drama that resolutely refuses to fit into the easy current definition of the comic-book movie. This isnt like any of the other recent Marvel movies, so before you start screaming at me about BLADE 2 or DAREDEVIL or HULK, save yourself the hassle. This is nothing like those films, whatever you think of them.
Is it like the source material? Honestly, I cant answer that question. Does it work as a movie? Yeah. It sure does.
