Corrected entry: Part of the Punisher's objective in his war against crime is to protect innocent civilians. Yet at one point in the movie he chooses to dispatch an enemy on a rooftop by using a rocket launcher, even though the rocket could have missed and collided with a nearby building and killed several innocents.

Correction: Unfortunately for the innocent civilians, The Punisher's ONLY objective is to punish violent criminals. He's not The Protector, he's The Punisher.

This correction demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the Punisher as a character. Just because he's called the Punisher, it doesn't mean he has no moral code or doesn't care about innocent people. This film, for all of its many flaws, even shows him questioning himself after he mistakenly murders an undercover FBI agent.

Additionally, the main plot of this film is the Punisher protecting the family of the murdered FBI agent from the mobsters he infiltrated. If punishing criminals was his only objective as you suggested, then he wouldn't go out of his way to help the family. He would just spray bullets at the criminals and shrug off whatever collateral damage he causes in the process.

If you read some of his comics, he has pursued enemies in front of innocent people and some have been caught in the crossfire sadly. Not really an error.
