This movie has to be the best marvel movie out. It is extremely violent (but there is really no blood), it would pobably be PG-13 if it wasnt for the language (4-6 f words, and other minor words). There is also very brief nudity, and something about cheating. I do have to say, i was more shocked with what i saw in "G.I. Joe", then this.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the risks that undercover law enforcers take and what they can do to protect their families. How can good memories save your life? Families could also talk about the line between justice and vengeance. What is the answer to TK's question about what makes Castle different from Saint?

Punisher fans will like it
If you a Punisher fan like me then im pretty sure you'll love this movie. Its no where as violent as the sequal (Punisher War Zone) but there is a lot of violence including murder and a torture scene. If you have an older teen and think there mature enough they should be able to handle the movie. Theres also an edited TV version on cable sometimes that i reccomend for 14+ since it is not as violent and some of the language is censored

Not really that violent...
I saw this thinking it would be incredibly violent. It really isnt. Well, there is a lot of violence, but very little of it is bloody. Many people are shot and fall over with no blood but only a few scenes have any actual blood or gore... it was kind of disapointing

A great action movie!!
THE PUNISHER is a tame action movie following the style of the 1980s action flicks such as DIE HARD or LETHAL WEAPON. A must see for any action movie fan.

This is good
this movie is a very great movie espically based off a comic book there is a scene with 2 chicks without tops on very quick tho maybe 3 secs or so but other than that there is some scenes with strong violence such as stabbing a dude in the hands togeather and then shoving a knive through his chin and u see it all and u see the knive thro his teeth and taking a paper cutter blade off and hitting a guy in the middle of the head with it other than that language is at a minamum great movie i recomend it for kids 15 or later great movie i think
