Audience Reviews

Almost works more as a goofball comedy mocking all those action films of the 1980's. Almost. Gossett comes off so much better than the material handed to him.

Dolph Lungren as the Punisher and it's exactly what you would expect it to be ...and it didn't age well. 'nuff said. -- DrNostromo.com
