The Punisher: One Last Kill

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A pared-down, no-holds-barred actioner that further cements Jon Bernthal as the definitive interpreter of The Punisher in a self-contained, marvelous story that goes above and beyond for One Last Kill.

Audience Says

A brutally unhinged peak-TV special, The Punisher proves One Last Kill is nowhere near enough.

2/4
As is, “Punisher” is pure grindhouse fare with more grunts and groans than dialogue; it’ll make you long for something with more meat on its bones. Go to Full Review Zaki Hasan San Francisco Chronicle May 16
[Bernthal] is so fully locked into this version of the Punisher, physically and emotionally, that even when the material tips into excess, he keeps it grounded. Go to Full Review Amon Warmann Empire Magazine May 14
4/5
Reinaldo Marcus Green and Jon Bernthal locate and explore Frank Castle’s essence in brutal, bloody and heartfelt fashion. Go to Full Review Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers Jun 26
"The Punisher: One Last Kill" only serves as an entertaining but inadequate teaser. Go to Full Review Joseph Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast Jun 9
5/5
Violent, pulse-pounding, and often harrowing, the special transcends standard comic fare to dive deep into the Punisher's dark and troubled psychosis. Go to Full Review Mike Manalo Geeks of Color Jun 2
7.5/10
It feels too short and seems awkward in its attempt to introduce a larger narrative that doesn’t seem to have a resolution. That being said, overall, The Punisher: One Last Kill is as gritty, violent, and mature as you’d expect from a Marvel one-shot! Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Randy G @Rage33 2d Bernthal casting as the punisher is one of the best ever. This takes disney in a violent direction to try and regain the male viewership numbers. See more Tyler W @TYW810 5d I just felt weird watching this. See more Jonathon P @RT50577666 Jul 2 Interesting Punisher content but the writing was sub par. Cool ending. See more Dalton B @RT24282550 Jul 1 Great punisher installment, not much of a story though. See more Daniel G @RT84939777 Jul 1 Bernthal delivers another amazing performance as Frank Castle. This brutal sub-hour film brought some gore and great choreography. It showed how animalistic the punisher can truly be. This is something Marvel needs to focus on. Enough of the trash films and bring us a Bernthal, feature length film. This series has been under utilized and it’s time for a refresh for the MCU. See more Geoff M @RangoDuke Jul 1 7.5 Score: Punisher Special Cons: The dog. Bad wire work. Ive seen that setup a million times. Grunting. Nothing I didnt already know about his past. Criminals were all morons--The Raid 1,2 and Dredd did it right. Pros: Love the death of tattoo guy. It felt personal. Gun work with ammo count and magazine count spot on. The Gnucci crippled chick and where they are going with his "revenge story" aka therapy. Guy who killed dog dies. Punisher logo at end+ I like the fact they started with Special. Cool to keep that media special format alive. I still enjoyed it. My wife hated it. See more Read all reviews
