Dolph might look like a big dumb shit but he's a highly educated guy, holding a BA and an MA in Chemical Engineering (top of his class!). He's also a formidable athlete, holding a third dan black belt in Kyokushin. Simply put, he could kick your ass on the street and in the classroom. And yet, because of his stature and his enunciation skills he gets crappy film roles that perpetuate the action star/dumb shit stereotype.
The Punisher is no different, but it has an underused stylistic element that sets it apart from the usual violent revenge flick and all the modern Marvel films.
I'd be interested in seeing the Swede acting in his native language to see if he's any better at it.
