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

Luke C @llukeey13 1d I get it was a short film but what was that even supposed to accomplish? It was an hour of nothingness where the action had no beginning, middle or end to tie it to. If you want to see someone kill a lot of people for an hour then by all means watch it. See more Delia D @camila1691 2d As Frank Castle searches for meaning beyond revenge, an unexpected force pulls him back into the fight. 100% Octane! See more Randall S @RScherr 2d Each Punisher season was marvelous. This short film is garbage. Looked like a fever dream. Even the shootout in the apartment complex was a very poor version of The Raid. I would have given it 1/2 star but the sound track was great so 1 star it is See more Ernestine S @Erne79900 3d This was excellent. So good to see Frank again, doing his thing. I'll watch anything with this guy. It was very entertaining, time flew by. Wish there were more. See more R.J. F @RJtheFox 3d If this was a test to see if we want more and longer versions of Jon Bernthal's Punisher without the PG-13 constraints of Disney, the answer is YES See more Vince M @FilmHead03 3d Hey let’s put a hit on Frank Castle. But let’s tell him exactly when we are going to be coming and on the way to him let’s tape and murder all of Queens. No way the National Guard will be called in. It certainly won’t get Spider-Man’s attention. See more Read all reviews
