The Punisher (1989) - 2/5
This movie is just a low budget, low quality action movie, even by ‘80s standards. The acting’s stilted, the plot’s a bore, and the action isn’t even fun or exciting for the most part. It may have some merit as the subject of a Mystery Science Theater 3000 viewing, but other than that it’s pretty lifeless.
Closest comparison: It’s halfway between Masters of the Universe (1987) and The Defenders (Netflix, 2017)
Setting: Crime
Plot: Vigilante
Tone: Action
