New York Times:
In the "Dirty Harry" and "Death Wish"
pictures of that era — also the time of the Punisher's
comic-book birth — gracelessness functioned as a sign
of macho integrity. The movie comes closest to honoring this
tradition in its less operatic sequences (and in one that
involves a wall-smashing fight scored to "La donna è
mobile"), which is also when it approaches the moodiness
and eccentricity of the best Marvel comics.
Washington
Post: Although
director Jonathan Hensleigh and his co-writer, Michael France,
could certainly have succumbed to making Frank's freak friends
the vehicles for his salvation (Joan, especially, as a cute
substitute for Frank's dead wife), they don't. And
bless them for it.
