The Punisher: One Last Kill Reviews

I think I love what it could’ve been more than what it is, but that’s fine. love to see frank no matter what.

my only complaints are: if they could make it as long as it is, why couldn’t they add 15 minutes to make it feel less rushed? the choices for the length of certain scenes were really odd. I think this would’ve benefited from a few more slower scenes rather than long, ‘trying to be entertaining’ scenes. I also would’ve enjoyed some action without music just to hear some good sound effects but that’s not my biggest concern. I kind of felt let down at the end, like that’s it? I almost don’t get why it was even made for it to be that short when the concept is essentially “frank is sad, but now frank has to kill people”.

Banger alert!

As someone who’s never watched the original Netflix show, this was a really cool view into the Punisher’s backstory and where he is today, AND it made me really want to check out the OG series.

The editing was top notch showing his broken mental state, the emotion was definitely there, and the action scenes were top tier. Can’t wait to see him in Brand New Day, and I really enjoyed this short and sweet special!

7.5/10

“one batch, two batch, penny and dime”

soo good. I love anything with Frank in it. it really explored the depth of his grief and his mental health while also still maintaining the action

minor spoiler below

that dog did NOT deserve that. that guy got what was coming to him.

As a person who hasn’t watched any of the punisher series, I absolutely loved this. I connected with the emotional parts, I was blown away by the editing of the mental parts, and the action was 1000000% thrill. I am going to happily rewatch this and I can’t wait to see him again this summer in Spider-Man. I only wish it was longer. This feels like the intro to something really interesting

Pretty solid short! Good action and I love how Frank ends up in this, seems like now that his personal punisher ways are done, he can start doing the REAL public vigilantism. Some of the acting was a liiittle corny, but overall I didn’t mind it! Can’t wait for Spider-man: BND🔥

HATED THE FIRST SCENE WITH THE DOG
like that actually crushed my heart
that being said the ending was satisfying af
only not hearting bc of that scene

You could feel the low budget of this. I personally don’t think Berthal’s punisher is a good main character. He works best as a side dude to the main story.

8/10 loved seeing prime Frank and that La vie en rose apartment scene was peak 🥹 just wish it was longer less than an hour is criminal

I love Jon Bernthal and I love the Punisher. But this was just an excuse to give us John Wick style Punisher content. It’s a rehashing of the show (which is far better). Its editing is messy/jarring. The action is cool but it takes a while to get it. What was that roof fall shot?

Love Lowly
Rating: 88/100

Rated: 8.3/10 ⭐️

Expected a standard revenge flick, but this visceral character study totally blew me away.

What Worked:
• NYC location shoots give the action a gritty, tactile weight.
• Bernthal co-writing really worked, pulling Frank out of his spiral into finding genuine purpose.
• Bowers’ score anchors the emotion, giving the fast-paced action a dynamic, earned flow.

What Didn’t Click:
• The 45-minute runtime flew by; the final act felt totally rushed to me.
• Cramming Ma Gnucci’s family dynamic into a short special didn’t let her character breathe.
• Frank’s transition from hopeless to his new mindset felt a bit sudden.

The Verdict:
Watch for an emotionally heavy return. Skip if you need a lighthearted romp.

This was awesome! Love seeing Jon’s punisher back on my screen. It’s so cool that he helped write this. I liked the story, Frank trying to find his purpose and deal with his mental health after achieving his goal of taking out everyone involved with the murder of his family. But there was a really good moment where he sees and hears the consequences of his actions. The fights, action, and stunts were awesome! Jon acted his ass off, and a good way to Segway his character into Spiderman!

I wanted to love this, but the reason I didn’t was because of the cliffhanger it was left on. I wish we had more, but I will say it is a great set up for Spider-Man Brand New Day. I haven’t seen that yet but it gives me a feel as to why Frank Castle is a wanted man. They did a great job showing the effects of both PTSD and loss. Keeping to Franks Grudgy self. Also they did a great job on the soundtrack.

AMAZING!!!

This was a hard watch but the payoff was worth it. The ending really tied it together nicely.

Not bad, but it feels he's trying too hard at times.

so good!!!!

Pretty hilarious that it’s just 50 mins of him murdering an entire town all to set up him being able to chill with a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man

It’s about the length of a stand alone episode. Really good. Dark and full of gore. Totally gets into PTSD and mental health of our veterans or active military.

Woah.. never been into marvel stuff but this makes me interested in him and spiderman tbh
