Very good adaption!!! Thomas Jayne was good, but Corey Sosner is better!! All the Punisher short films I have seen have been a waste of time! Some young bloke with a cheap Punisher T-Shirt he bought down Camden market, so I was not exspecting much when I heard about First Round! I WAS WRONG!!! Yes, some of the acting was not great. Yes, some of the dialogue was out of sinc! And yes, it was shot on the usual cheap digital camera!! But the film on a whole was brilliant!! Corey Sosner was perfect as the Punisher,Eric Von Sydow was perfect as Wolverine and The Kingpin was white!! The costumes are top quality, the attitudes and personalities of the characters are perfect, the script was good. What more could you want?? It proves once more that only comic book fans should direct comic book adapted movies. Hollywood and amateur alike!!!!
