The Punisher: Dirty Laundry (2012)

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

When I first watch it on YouTube I thought it was some parody but I didn't know Tomas Jane was in this short film. The scene where he hit this guy with a Jack Daniels bottle like that's the best part of this film. The thought acting is good like The Punisher (2004). The skull shirt looks really different then his last film in 2004 like I wish it was a aftermath of killing Howard Saint in the film but it's different. This film is really detail like it's dark and menacing in this short film. This is the best short film I've seen so far.

*Spoiler Alert*Not complaining.Thomas Jane as The Punisher is the best but this wasn't really what i thought it would be.The 2004 movie is my favorite one ever but i expected a bit more from this even though that it's a fan film and 10 minutes.So i am going a bit against the flow here.So the film goes after Frank Castle after becoming The Punisher and accepting his family's death but i do not understand why he did not stop the bad guy from the whole beginning after he saw that he was beating up a woman.He was minding his own business and had to be told by someone else what he had to do.It just sort of ruins the feel justice(Yeah,i know that this is not justice,but punisment.) and makes Castle a person who just observes,takes his time to think is it right to go into the fight and stop them and then in the end actually does something.So the bad guy had to beat up a woman and start terrorizing a small boy and then he became "worthy" to be punished.I don't mind the fake blood and the music that wasn't as the first movie's style but come on.This was made 8 years after it.All and all it's great but it's not the same.I hope that they bring Thomas Jane as The Punisher again some day and i hope that it's like the first movie.

The Punisher: Dirty Laundry, is a short film that is nothing but awesome fan service. Seriously, I've been waiting for the day that Thomas Jane embodies Frank Castle again. This right here is that sequel we always wanted. Unfortunately, it is only a 10 minute long short. But, we get some nice stuff here.The Good: Tom Jane is the perfect Punisher. He is so dang good in the role! His performance is out of this world! Also, nice Ron Perlman cameo! Very cool. The story here is very Punisher-esque, along with the ideals of punishment and justice that Frank speaks of at the end and with Perlman's character. Nice photography as well. I love the new Punisher logo too!The Bad: Since this is a short film, the blood and gun effects are pretty lousy. We also get some over the top violence that I think even Garth Ennis would not write into his books. It's violent alright, but not the violence I enjoyed from the 2004 film. It's bloody and gory, but too more gore and they lose me. Also, the score is the Dark Knight score. It pulls me right out of the story when I hear it used here. Wish they used something else, oh well.Overall, this is Thomas Jane as The Punisher again. Need I say more?

Watching The Punisher (2004) starring Thomas Jane was a fun ride. I thought a lot of the action sequences were well staged as were the acting and the music well written. My only quarrel with the film was that plot dragged slightly and how the moments of sadness in the weirdest places. Most of them dealt with Travolta's character. For example, when Howard Saint (Travolta) confronts a longtime friend about betraying him, as a villain, he should be livid, not emotionally distraught. The sadness that Jane displays is frequent too but it's forgivable since the reboot had to establish the fact that his family was gone. Thankfully, there's nothing like that in this ten-minute film. Eight years later, we find Thomas Jane back as Frank Castle just trying to do some laundry when he stumbles onto innocent blood being spilt. Need I say more? We all know what happens next; pure punishment. The difference between this film and the feature length remake that Jane starred in 2004 was the tone of the movie. The first dealt more with Castle's grief about the death of his family (which is understandable to a point). Here, Castle has accepted the fact that his family is gone and now could care less who he's hurting. And that's also the attitude of Ron Perlman's character whose just a store clerk. For the few lines he gave, it was something you wouldn't normally hear from a store clerk. All good acting though.I'm still not giving this short film a full ten stars because this wasn't a full feature length movie. There's obviously not enough to explore in ten minutes. Plus the fact that the blood was fake as well but what do you expect for a ten-minute film. The hand-to-hand combat is great to watch as is the improvised weapon Jane uses to break up a gang. The music, although I have no idea who scored it, sounded good and the ending was quite satisfying. Will this bring Jane back as Frank Castle? Right now, that's in the air but if it does end up coming to fruition, having it done this way would be a much better way to go.
