OUTSTANDING little movie!!! Tom Jane is fantastic as frank castle & infact this mini movie is the absolute BEST that the Punisher has ever been seen on screen EVER!!! Yep the Netflix series is AWESOME but this film & Toms performance are perfect exactly what i imagine frank castle as the Punisher to be. Brutal & ultra violent, love it!!! This is the type of punishment these gangs of thugs deserve & it's BEAUTIFUL. So want Tom Jane back as the Punisher in another movie like this gritty & brutal!!! The Punisher (2004) was also a great film & I'm a huge fan of it & Thomas Jane as frank castle he's great. So just watch this

No matter the critics I am a big fan of both Punisher films from 2004 and 2008 especially Punisher:War Zone which is a extremely underrated comic book film that deserved more plaudits and better box office take.I heard about this 10 minute short film a few years ago and at last got round to watching it and was simply blown away by a visually stunning,very violent,gory,well acted masterpiece that puts most full length movies to shame even The Punisher movies themselves.Frank Castle(a ice cool Tom Jane reprising his 2004 role)who is another name for The Punisher is on his way to a laundromat to do his washing in a run down neighbourhood when he sees a nasty gang bothering a group of prostitutes but ignores it not wanting to get involved.He then hears the gang leader raping one of the prostitutes and his anger begins to boil.When this same gang then try to mug a boy just trying to walk by Frank walks into a store over the road to buy some Jack Daniels but is still trying to mind his own business.After a brief but memorable conversation with the store manager(a epic cameo from Ron Perlman)Frank exits the store with bottle in hand turns it upside down and smashes it over the heads of the gang members before beating the hell out of all of them until only Goldtooth(the leader)remains.Frank then breaks both legs and the right arm of Goldtooth before pouring the whisky onto the now crippled bad guy and after asking him a question leaves a lighter by his broken body and returns to his washing.Thinking he has got away with living Goldtooth sees the same prostitute he assaulted walk up to him and she picks up the lighter,after a brief think she lights it up and burns him in revenge whilst Frank walks back to his van with his laundry.About to leave the young boy he rescued walks up to him saying he dropped his t shirt but Frank says he can keep it.The boy unfolds his new t shirt to see The Punisher symbol plastered over it.Lets get this straight this plot is pretty basic because of the running time but that's the beauty of it.It roars straight into the plot and never looks back as each thing the gang does gets Frank more and more angry to the point of erupting like a volcano and when he does he unleashes hell like a man possessed.Jane for me is the definitive Frank Castle and in this ten minutes he brings a stronger performance than ever before.He is a man just trying to do his washing in piece but trouble seems to follow him about and in the end he explodes like a raging inferno smashing skulls in with a bottle of whisky before taking guns and knives off the gang and giving them a beating they will never forget.He is like a spilt personality here as he is so calm and cool sat waiting for his laundry but his other side seethes under the surface as wrong doers are about to meet this ultimate bad ass.I really wish Marvel had kept Jane as the vigilante as just ten minutes shows how awesome he can be and this character can be in live action.Bring him into the MCU already,he would go up to Thanos,stare at him and the big bad would run like hell.Apart from the beat down scene the most memorable scene had to be when Frank had a brief conversation with the store owner Big Mike played by another normally hard as nails actor Ron Perlman who goes against type to play a crippled and scared man who tells Frank about the time he tried to intervene in the gangs antics and was left crippled by them.He tells Frank someone needs to sort them out once and for all,its this wonderful chat that sets Castle on his way to bring The Punisher out to play.This may only be ten minutes long but its crammed full of awesome moments and has some great imagery with light shining on areas to show what a nightmare neighbourhood this is that even just walking by can get you beat up or even killed with even the prostitutes frightened to look at the gang wrong fearing what they might do to them which of course happens.In the space of about 2 minutes this short classic gives us a action scene that puts many feature films to shame with blood,guts and gore spewing everywhere as the gang realise this quiet looking chap is a stone cold man of justice who proceeds to beat the hell out of them and I wonder if the makers of The Walking Dead thought of Tom Jane as Negan as him swinging Lucille could of been glorious(he was the original choice for Rick)though Jeffrey Dean Morgan is awesome so that's OK.Hopefully we will see Tom Jane play The Punisher again one day as this extraordinary short film was epic with a breathtaking and gory action scene where one man shows others who is boss,it had brilliant acting by Jane and Perlman and amazing visuals that show what nasty places there are about.A rip roaring tirade of vengeance.

There are many stereotypes and clichés in this 10-minute short film. A gang of thugs violently attacks women and children and a lone hero takes care of them, even if all he actually wanted to take care of was his laundry. Thomas Jane returns in this little movie as Frank Castle, the Punisher. Ron Perlman is in it as well and he is always a nice addition. He appears in the middle section, the first part of the film is about getting to know the characters, the last part are the fighting sequences then. I really hope we get "Hellboy 3" at some point. Anyway, Jane's character beats up all the bad guys, but the real punishment comes from somebody else at the end. Decent little short and I read that there might be a television series coming out soon, but it does not say if Jane is also starring in it. This short film here is a decent watch, nothing outstanding, but 10 minutes worth spending. Director and writer here are not very famous, but all in all they do a good job too. Also, I have not seen the feature film, but you don't need to to understand and appreciate this short movie. Recommended.

I'm watching this fresh off a(nother) disappointing viewing of 2004's "The Punisher", so there's really nowhere to go but up, right? Especially when it's only a 10-minute running time. Either way, "The Punisher: Dirty Laundry", lean, mean and minimalist, finally lets Frank Castle get down to the business of kicking some ass. All of the necessary brooding and none of the lame villains, no milquetoast sadism - hell, the real fun here is watching Thomas Jane take a whiskey bottle to the heads of a street gang (with the requisite blood sprays). It's quick, to the point, and violently satisfying. It's a sad state of affairs when Hollywood can't do (in three movies!) what a YouTube video can. 7/10
