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.

Reinaldo Marcus Green and Jon Bernthal locate and explore Frank Castle’s essence in brutal, bloody and heartfelt fashion. Go to Full Review
Amelia Emberwing TheWrap 1d
The special is ultimately a mixed bag, doing little to elevate the character or engage the audience that’s already deeply familiar with The Punisher. Go to Full Review

The Punisher would’ve fared better if it had a shot (pun intended) in a theatrical setting and under his own spotlight, rather than waiting to exist in the shadow of our friendly neighborhood web-slinger. Go to Full Review
Simon Ramshaw ScreenAnarchy 1h
Being able to enjoy something as base in its pleasures as this proves to be a tough uphill battle through its icky politics and tired storytelling, perhaps making it a better idea for Castle to hang up the Colt for good. Go to Full Review

…The Punisher goes on a killing spree which feels like a video-game set to crushingly easy….One Last Kill tries way too hard to have John Wick style, right down to the regular top-down views of the ensuing carnage…. Go to Full Review

Nick R @NocturnalWalrus 36m It,s a fun watch for fans and the acting is great. The action is solid too. The 1st half feels like it should have been resolved in the original show, and then the 2nd feels disjointed and forced as one giant action sequence. Where he ended in Daredevil: Born Again season 1 and when he'll probably begin in the next Spiderman feel very different. See more Duncan J @djohnston 40m The 1st tip-off that this "movie" wouldn't be very special was the run-time of 50 minutes. That's not a movie, it's an episode. It's as if the producers simply had some extra footage leftover of Frank Castle just running around screaming his guttural scream and doing what he does best. Thin on plot, thick on violent killing. Isn't that perfect for the Punisher you might ask? Sure, if it's part of a larger production with something called a plot involved. This was just like eating a donut; you get that sudden sugar rush but ultimately it leaves you hanging wishing there was more to it than just empty calories. See more Jovanni T. @RT23855863 52m This was AWESOME, BLODDY, AND GODDAMN GOOD. THE PUNISHER IS BACK IN BUSINESS, BABY! See more James K @James231981 52m This is THE best 45 minutes Disney+ has ever done. I want more. I NEED MORE Frank Castle. See more Max A @JusticeCat 1h There was no story and no addition to the lore. I could not suspend my disbelief. Town goes nuts because some mob family is killed? A cafe stays open in the middle of a riot? I guess if you like stunts with no story, you might like this. I regret wasting the hour watching it. See more John JV V @RT41286324 1h Jon Bernthal adds a lot of depth to this broken character, with the help of some great writing. The action scenes are solid and give a nice introduction to the Punishers place in the MCU. See more Read all reviews
