Why Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ Finally Got the Punisher Right

8. His Fights Aren’t Splashy

You never see a military-trained operative who’s anything more than ruthlessly efficient. Daredevil and his set can flip around all they want, but that doesn’t work for a man who’s goal is to end the fight as quickly (and brutally) as possible. Thankfully, Daredevil’s choreographer, Phil Silvera, is a man who knows how to stay true to the character. As he told EW, “The Punisher, he’s tactically trained. You see him dispense of people from a distance, but when he gets in close and personal, you see a tactical side to how he does things. There’s a different type of efficiency to it. He’s not afraid to put people down, so you see that training in there.” God bless character development through choreography.
