Punisher: Warzone

Rating: ★★★½☆ 

Directed By: Lexi Alexander

Starring: Ray StevensonDominic West

Plot Synopsis:

Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the “Punisher Task Force” hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds go unpunished. (TrailerAddict)

Review:

Marvel’s The Punisher has always been plagued by bad film adaptations.  The utterly awful Dolph Lundgren 1989 The Punisher has always left a bad taste in the mouth for fans of the comic.  In 2004 Thomas Jane donned the Skull T-Shirt in a curiously bloodless The Punisher with John Travolta sinking an otherwise enjoyable action flick.  Now, in 2008 we have attempt numero tres with Ray Stevenson (Outpost, Rome) as Frank Castle.  Easily the best version of The Punisher we’ve seen on screen, Punisher: Warzone brings  back the carnage that makes The Punisher the character we love.
