AFTER HUNTING DOWN AND KILLING HUNDREDS OF VIOLENT CRIMINALS, FRANK CASTLE, AKA THE PUNISHER, FACES HIS MOST DEADLY FOE YET: JIGSAW. Amazon.com: Punisher: War Zone cannot be adequately described as "over the top"--it's a relentless catalogue of brutal mayhem punctuated, here and there, with outrageous sentimentality. Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher (Ray Stevenson, Rome) has dedicated his life to killing the kind of gangsters who murdered his family. But when he unknowingly kills an undercover FBI agent, Castle falls into a crisis of conscience and decides to lay down his guns. Unfortunately, one of the last gangsters he thought he'd killed survived, albeit horribly disfigured, and seeks revenge on the wife and daughter of that slain FBI agent--so Castle has to go one last spree of vigilante justice! But this plot summary will not prepare you for the jolting violence of Punisher: War Zone; rarely do more than a few minutes go by without startling physical savagery, particularly to people's heads, which get blown apart with numbing frequency. This violence somehow goes hand in hand with dizzyingly saccharine moments when a young girl gazes at Castle with trusting eyes, knowing in her heart that he's the only one who can protect her. The dialogue goes beyond cliche into tough guy baroque. Stevenson underplays Castle to good effect, because everyone else in the movie--including Dominic West (The Wire), Doug Hutchison (The Green Mile), and Wayne Knight (Seinfeld)--chews the scenery like it's slathered with gravy. Some viewers will find this movie revolting; others will worship it like a golden calf. You probably know where you stand. --Bret Fetzer

![]() Rating: - Action with a storyI am not a Marvel Comics fan nor did I see the first two Punisher movies but I thought this movie really rocked with all of the dark action as well as letting one be aware of the back story for Frank Castle without bogging the action down. I thought Ray Stevenson struck the right balance between the seemingly cold and unyielding exterior the Punisher projects with the lonely man who still has a human heart and wishes his family were still alive. There are enough bad guys and side kicks to keep things ...

Well the first Punisher was awsome, this one is even better! The Punisher War Zone shows the gritty, violent, and uncomfortable life of Frank Castle!. Anyone who grew up with the comics will love this. Its the most faithful comic movie ive seen in a while! Now I will say the acting is at times kind of rediculous, but you get used to it in the first 10 minutes when Punisher is whipping out an entire ...

Rating: - Punisher: War ZoneThis movie is made for action lovers with weak minds. It is not even close to being as good as the first Punisher. The story line is weak, boring and then they throw in enough curse words to make a sailor blush. When will movie makers learn that ideas can be expressed in english without having to throw in cursing. I was very disappointed after seeing the first Punisher. Rating: - Third times the Charm!!!!If you like shoot them up bang bang action this is a movie you'll love. If you follow the comic book you should also love this movie. The 1980's version captured the character but is dated and cliche. The 2004 version didn't really capture the darkness of Frank Castle in my opinion even down to many of the action scenes being childish. This movie captured the full aspect of the character with brutal action that did not hold back. The Punisher had more than just a few guns and a knife he had an entire ...
