PUNISHER:WAR ZONE



Plot:

Ray Stevenson takes on the role of Frank Castle, a modest man who while on a picnic with his family witnesses a gangland hit and his wife and kids are then murdered, turning him into the vigilante killer The Punisher. While racking up piles of murders toward mobsters and gangs, he accidentlly murders an undercover Special agent while trying to get to his arch enemy gangster Billy Russoti (Dominic West), who later becomes Jigsaw because of a disfiguring accident. While he is feeling bad about the agent's death and wants to retire, Special Agent Budiansky (Salmon) is hot on his tail seeking revenge for his partner's death and Jigsaw along with his brother Loony Bin Jim (Hutchinson), go after the dead agents wife and daughter to recoup the gangster's missing money, causing the Punisher to serve up his own style of justice one last time.

Reel Talk:

Warning: For those who want to take the family out for a movie outing, this is not for the children. Unlike the previous Punisher movies, this one is far more violent and bloodier with scenes of bizaare cannibalism, butchery and lots of bullets.This one plays up on the various ways to kill people, mainly because it lacks any celebrity screen presence. But for blood and gore enthuiasts, they should enjoy this movie. It's not a great movie but an entertaining one.

Starring: Ray Stevenson, Dominic West, Doug Hutchinson, Colin Salmon and Wayne Knight
Directed by: Lexi Alexander
Rated: R

Thomas Jane did a decent job as the Punisher last time; too bad they didn't bring him back for this installment as well
