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: - the best punisher movie yetthis is for me,hands down,the best Punisher movie hands down.i liked the story and there's plenty of action.also,there's no lame dialogue in this version.in fact the dialogue is kept to a minimum.but that works here.Ray Stevenson makes for A good Punisher.he seems very natural in the role. and delivers the lines he does have well.a word of warning though,this incarnation of the Punisher franchise is ultra violent and very graphic compared to the two previous Punisher movies.i was actually very surprised ... Read More Rating: - Best Punisher To Date!In my opinion, this is the BEST Punisher movie of the three. It is of the caliber synonymous to the comic books, and that alone for me is good enough. While viewing this at the cinema, I couldn't help but think "finally here is a Punisher movie worth watching". The plot is simple; that is, a revenge/vigilante tale with the protagonist wanting to quit his current purpose and so on, but had to brutally extinguish some impious miscreants on his way. I don't see viewers who are familiar with the comics having ...

Horace Goodspeed is the bad guy's sidekick. 3. Dexter's wife is the girl. 4. Newman is the The Punisher's sidekick. 5. Tim Calhoun's face is The Punisher's face. Right now, every self-respecting fan of good television has opened a new tab in their browser and is adding this movie to their Netflix queue, regardless of whether or not the rest of my review positive, and ... Read More Rating: - The Punisher does not work with cartoon villains and a whole lotta dialogueThis is the third movie about Marvel's vigilante hero known as the Punisher. First, he was played by Dolph Lundgren in 1989 and then Thomas Jane in 2004. "Punisher: War Zone" is not so much a sequel to either of those films, but rather a reboot of the series in an attempt to jump start it once again. The Punisher, a.k.a. Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson), aided and abetted by Micro (Wayne Knight), is trying to take out a gangster named Billy (Dominic West), who ends up in a tub of broken glass. Billy survives, ... Read More Rating: - Not Bad, But Not The Same Without Thomas JaneMy first response was, this is very `Dick Tracy' what with a mutilated criminal and corny phrases. 2nd, Thomas Jane is the ONLY Punisher as far as I am concerned. BUT, the action lives up to the comic book, the cinematography is very cool, and the soundtrack is excellent. This is a very well done Hollywood style `The System Failed Us' type of film. Worth renting,but not to own so much. JMHO. Punisher: War Zone (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
