This is an adaptation of a popular, violent Marvel Comics series about a character who's a frontier-style vigilante in modern-day urban America. Dolph Lundgren stars as Frank Castle, once a crusading police officer whose family was murdered by a car bomb planted by the Mob. Believed to be killed in the explosion, Castle has gone underground, building a subterranean lair in the sewer system and vengefully assassinating various criminals, wracking up an impressive body count of 125 slain in five years. Castle's former partner, Jake Berkowitz (Louis Gossett, Jr.) rightly suspects that he knows the true identity of the motorcycle-riding avenger dubbed "the Punisher." Meanwhile, Castle's bloody campaign has had the intended effect of weakening organized crime, creating an opportunity to consolidate power for the ambitious Gianni Franco (Jeroen Krabbe), the man responsible for the Castle family hit. Sensing an opportunity to muscle in on new lucrative turf, foreign competitors threaten Franco's empire. When the Japanese yakuza has the crime boss' innocent son kidnapped, Castle finds himself in the ironic position of helping a man he'd like to kill. Filmed in Australia, this low-budget action thriller did not get a theatrical release in the U.S., instead going directly to video. Karl Williams, Rovi

So for the first film adaptation, it's pretty okay, good even. It's your typical late 1980's mafia film, but we get to see the most basic generic plot for the Punisher that will introduce you to the character. If you're not interested in the comic aspect, then you may find some fun cheesy action. It's overlooked a bit and just a tad under rated, but if you view it based on its source material it's 50/50. Give it a go, if nothing else it's just an addition to the 1980's action.

This is as far as it is safe to go in old marvel
Beyond this is Captain america wearing a motorcycle helmet and david hasslehoff as Nick Fury. Don't do that to yourself.
This is a fun movie...I'd take this, even with all the weirdness over the second modern punisher movie.
