Punisher: War Zone (2008) Review

W0W that is the only thing i can say after viewing this movie! Keep in mind that i am a fan of the last Punisher movie that came out in the early part of this decade and all i can say is that this one blew that away! in following with the tradition of the Marvel Knights comics (allowed to be more violent as these are not for kids), the first movie to be made under this banner reminded me why the Punisher is my favorite Marvel character (fuck Spiderman!). Frank Castle is nasty as hell and the blood bath at the beginning in the film is only an indicator of what the movie will be like. Ray Stevenson brings an edgier Frank Castle alive in this none direct squeal to the 2004 Punisher while Dominic West as Jigsaw is a better villain than John Travolta as Howard Saint was in the last Punisher movie. oh! and not forgetting the blood bath at the beginning of the movie, lucky director Lexi Alexander does not blow his load and delivers some sick ass action scenes that are genius in how they are choreographed in the movie. as for my ratting? no brainer, 9 skulls outta 10 cause this is probably the superhero film that would go unnoticed when compared to the Dark Knight and The Watchmen.
