CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
tankace This is one of the most awesome short films I have ever seen and a lot of credits have to be given to Thomas Jane who though he did his best in the 2004 film ,the film around him didn't give him any space to gives us the Punisher film we all deserve.Now after the second season of Daredevil gave us a pitch perfect Punisher ,who Jon Bernthal gave it all, the most well-known anti-hero of Marvel didn't have a lot time in the sun, with 3 films in a course of 15 years and all three been below average action films. And here we have Dirty Laundry which follows Frank just going to take his laundry and in the mean time a gang terrorizes the neighborhood and at first Frank just mind his own business ,but no one can refuse his nature for long and he take the matter of stopping these thugs in to his own hands. And the outcome was a blast ,bloody and totally serious with out the goofy parts like the 2004 film or over the top scenes like the 2008 attempt.As for the finale ,in which Frank gives to the bullied kid his shirt with with the famous skull on, shows that dispute his violent methods Mr.Castle genuinely cares about the life of the average person who tries to live in difficult neighborhood and wants to help them. The only issue is that his way is not in line with the law.All in all this short is a love letter to the character of the Punisher and if you are a fan of this ex-marine then go watch ,it is on YouTube and only 10 minutes long, so what do waiting for?
Mr-Fusion I'm watching this fresh off a(nother) disappointing viewing of 2004's "The Punisher", so there's really nowhere to go but up, right? Especially when it's only a 10-minute running time. Either way, "The Punisher: Dirty Laundry", lean, mean and minimalist, finally lets Frank Castle get down to the business of kicking some ass. All of the necessary brooding and none of the lame villains, no milquetoast sadism - hell, the real fun here is watching Thomas Jane take a whiskey bottle to the heads of a street gang (with the requisite blood sprays). It's quick, to the point, and violently satisfying. It's a sad state of affairs when Hollywood can't do (in three movies!) what a YouTube video can. 7/10
bob the moo Frank Castle is staying a bad neighborhood but all he wants to do is go to the launderette and get his clothes cleaned. While he waits for his cycle to be finished, trouble brews outside as drug dealers bully a kid into selling for them or getting the consequences.I have no idea how this short film got made but I was very surprised to find one of the actors who played Castle in one of the Hollywood films would be involved (Thomas Jane) and that even Ron Perlman shows up – two men better known for being in big blockbusters not smaller films which are essentially fan made. Despite that, this is what we have ourselves. The film appears to have been made out of the common complaint from those awaiting film versions of their favorite comic book characters – that it has been watered down or that it is not violet enough etc etc. This complaint always amuses me because I think the more important thing is that a film be good, not bloody and that having a higher rating doesn't mean that will be the case. This short film is unfortunately an example of that.The build-up is to one action sequence and this I didn't mind as it was reasonably well done and was a bit of a novelty, however the second half of the film is a problem. It is a simple piece of choreography to make the action happen but it is very violent – and not in a way I personally found impacting so much as silly. The extent of gore and bone breaking is wince-inducing but it is so excessive that it didn't fit with the dark, realistic tone of the piece. It is still a nice idea and I liked that Jane was part of it, but the excess doesn't work as part of the film although I guess it will of course work for those that list "extreme violence" as the key requirement for a Punisher film and everything else a distant second.A surprisingly starry fan film which will deliver the blood and splatter to the fans seeking that, but really that is all it does and it is disappointing to me that more was not made of the opportunity.
Boris Geprgiev *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.
