Review of Punisher: War Zone (2008) by Thomas G — 28 Mar 2016
Punisher War Zone is the comic film fans waited for. While not the perfect movie in itself, it captures enough of the characters and themes to be deserving of it's now cult like following. It's violent, over the top, and gritty.
Ray Stevenson nails his part, as he resembles Frank Castle right from the cover of the The Punisher Max run by Garth Enis. Fans of the comic should definitely check it out, and support it, in hopes that hollywood will follow it up and fix its mistakes.
Some of the writing is absurd, and over acted, and a little more time to build the emotional side of Frank's broken soul would aid in easing new viewers in. Not perfect, but a damn good time.
