Justice isn't blind. It's heavily armed. Frank Castle has been played by four very different actors across nearly four decades, and in this retrospective Now Playing Podcast reviews every live action Punisher adventure. From Dolph Lundgren 's 1989 cult favorite, to Thomas Jane 's revenge-fueled 2004 film, to Ray Stevenson 's ultra-violent Punisher: War Zone , we examine each take on Marvel's deadliest vigilante. Then we finish with Jon Bernthal 's return in the The Punisher: One Last Kill , the MCU special that continues Frank Castle's war on crime. Which version gets justice right, and which deserves punishment? Lock and load.
