The Punisher: One Last Kill

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

JOSHUA K @defmagic 1d YOU CANT GO WRONG with Jon Bernthal as THE PUNISHER. - IM SO GLAD they brought him back in Spider-Man Brand new day - This film was supposed to be a dark character study/addition - i get that. Was it super exciting? not the way I was wanting. If they do well with Ryan Goslings Ghost Rider, and use Doctor Strange 3 as a backdoor pilot-of sorts to intro the team, they could really do a great Midnight Sons movie. (Strange, Ghost Rider, Punisher, Blade, and Moon Knight) -- This was a nice tale - however i feel it could have been cut down by 50% and been an extended end tag in an otherwise badass Punisher MOVIE - Either way, I want much more Punisher projects with Jon Bernthal. They proved you can do something serious and it work great, and put him with Spider-Man and it work as well. See more Kate K @Katekarma 2d Please give us one more season!! Fantastic actor and fantastic play - needs another series 🙏 See more Eye C @ECinc 4d Damn, this thing just got real… real nasty and violent… surprisingly emotional and the fights are really savages. See more R B @Smashwow 6d Over indulgent mess. He looks way too tiny and unimpressive to be the Punisher or to do what he’s doing. Long boring scenes I found myself fast forwarding. It was truly awful. I enjoyed the series much more. See more Christian F @Christian173 6d JON BERNTHNAL IS ALL YOU HAD TO SAY See more Drew M @Stonehands211 6d Starts off rough, but once the action kicks in it goes hard and does it very well. Let’s hope they let the John Wick company 87Eleven do a movie with him one day. That would rule. See more Read all reviews
