Review of Punisher: War Zone (2008) by Chuckles H — 04 Jan 2010
Well, this is your typical direct-to-dvd action movie - not much of a plot, by the numbers action, and OTT acting. But fans of Garth Ennis' 'Welcome Back, Frank' will probably be delighted with this.
It has the same dark humour, lots of blood, guns & bullets, and very OTT violence. Ray Stevenson actually looks like the character depicted in the comics, and as someone who enjoyed Garth Ennis' run on 'Punisher', I really have no complaints.
You want a 'Punisher' movie that looks and feels like the comics? This is it. Which goes on to show that 'The Punisher' will never make a good movie. As a comic reader, I give it 3 stars.
Non comic readers should probably avoid though.
