Platypuschow Did anyone else even realise this existed? It flew thoroughly under my radar.Now I'm one of the few people who really enjoyed The Punisher (2004) though Thomas Jane was hardly the best choice of Frank Castle he did a solid job and the movie was really watchable despite Travolta's best efforts.This 10 minute short is literally Castle doing laundry and taking a couple of minutes out to talk to wheelchair bound shopkeep Ron Perlman before beating up a bunch of thugs with a bottle of whiskey.I don't understand how or why Jane & Perlman agreed to do with 8yrs after the original movie but it is somewhat overwhelming and doesn't fit with The Punisher character.It's almost like he is apprehensive about even helping! I suppose this is a harmless enough watch for fans but brings nothing new to the franchise and won't help with getting The Punisher into the real Marvel universe.The Good: Thomas Jane The Bad: I don't know why it even exists Frank Castles behaviour is out of character Perlman is wasted Things I Learnt From This Short: Jack Daniels bottles are made of adamantium

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?

darkstarone-693-482472 Excellent to see Frank Castle return, especially with Thomas Jane at the helm. I wasn't expecting too much when I stumbled on this short, however after seeing it, well, I want another Punisher movie with him in it! Part of Warzone's failure was that it just didn't carry off the dark and brooding atmosphere that Tom Jane projects. Aside from that, the atmosphere of the short itself is really nicely put together, from the exterior street shots to the dreary interiors.10/10 from me, cant see how this could've been better and let's just hope the studios realise that Tom Jane can be put to better use than bit parts in TV Shows and convince him to reprise his role in another big budget Punisher!

Lachy Chapman (ChappyMan19) I happened to stumble across this while checking out the recent stories from Comic Con 12. Wow! Am I glad that I did. This 10 minute short is absolutely superb! It's dark, gritty, dramatic and has a sense of realism to it that makes it that much more enthralling. I always loved Thomas Jane as the punisher character Frank Castle but felt that the rest of the movie wasn't done as well as it could have been. This short has the atmospheric tension and drama that the movie was missing, as the street thugs continue to run rampant the suspense and tension continuously builds until it gets to the stage where we know what must be done. Punishment.Also some of the shots used were just sublime, the slow motion shot of Frank Castle crossing the street while throwing the Jack Daniels bottle in the air is awesome! You forgive the poor blood effects given it was made by Thomas Jane as a fan/tribute video but by god, did they do a fantastic job!Have to give a nod to the acting in general, Thomas Jane is the punisher and performed greatly as expected but the surprise appearance by Ron Pearlman was terrific and his acting as nothing but a store clerk was amazing and very convincing.If you are yet to see it, do yourselves a favor and get onto YouTube to watch it! I hope that this ends up being seen by the right people and Thomas Jane gets picked up to reprise his role as the most bad-ass vigilante to grace the silver screen."What's the difference between justice and punishment?"
