Punisher War Zone

Punisher

He looks good in body armor, which adorned with wicked skull, but the signal given off by its opponents, especially the villainous Jigsaw (Dominic West), makes them seem to be in another film. Now we wonder Ray Stevenson in the latest attempt to give this character some life. Filmmakers have now taken three cracks at the history of Frank Castle, aka The Punisher and all three qualify as misfires. While the film offers a small step in the right direction, its still pretty damn bad. The first characterized Dolph Lundgren in 1989, and the words Dolph Lundgren basically summed up the problem. The movie is insanely violent, so be prepared if you buy a ticket. Stevenson does for a dignified, heavily armed bitter guy, but history surrounds is uneven at best. The second star Thomas Jane wear a skull shirt and shooting up bad four years ago and Jane sucked even worse for Lundgren.
