Punisher: War Zone Ratings & Reviews
- macuban89February 3, 2025I know this movie is terrible, but there’s something about the cheesy humor and the gun fights that makes it watchable.
- Cedric ReedMarch 5, 2025👌 awesome!
- ddt5346d agoI’ve always loved the Punisher movies. What makes them so special is that they’re about one man and his efforts to clean up all the criminal element that’s been effecting the city. He is unbound by the normal laws that affect the police and he doesn’t destroy everything he touches. And he does have a stand up comedial partner.
- Blockbuster Movie PassMarch 7, 2025Absolute underrated masterpiece! If you want a cbm with SAUCE this movie is the full JAR bro! Great cinematography, direction, acting, lighting EVERYTHING! Definitely the closest to the Raimi Trilogy in terms of vibes (just R rated lol) Great fun movie! RIP Ray Stevenson
- 匚卂尺ㄥJanuary 27, 2025Another comic book movie, and the third time this particular character has gotten to the screen. The Punisher [just in case you're uninitiated, even though you probably aren't if you're reading this] is Frank Castle. US Special Forces veteran and a man always more at home in battle than in everyday life. When his family were caught in the crossfire of a mob execution and he was the only survivor, he took his revenge. He set out to make the world a better place by killing all the bad guys. The first two versions, starring Dolph Lundgren and Thomas Jane respectively, divided opinion. So Frank got another go at the big screen. This time with British actor Ray Stevenson in the lead. It's best to view this one as a fresh take on the character rather than any sequel to the Thomas Jane version. It doesn't tell Frank's origin story, as it starts with him having been the Punisher for years. And only recaps on it briefly later on in the film. Here, a strike against a sadistic mob boss creates two problems for Frank. The mobster survives, but is horribly disfigured in the process. Taking on the name 'Jigsaw' he embarks on a campaign of revenge. Also, one mob soldier Frank killed turns out to have been an undercover agent. With his partner out to bring the Punisher to justice, and with Jigsaw out for revenge, plus with the agent's wife and young daughter caught in the crossfire, the Punisher has a lot to deal with. Who will survive? This does draw on more recent Punisher comics. A lot of supporting characters from those do pop up in the film. Although most in name only, some being different from their comic book counterparts. This doesn't compromise on the violence, delivering action and shooting scenes of the kind you would expect from a movie based on this character. They're bloody and graphic but never gratuitious. Where it does score highly is in it's portrayal of it's central character. Ray Stevenson looks the part. And he manages to act the part as well, excellently depicting Frank's inner demons. With a solid supporting cast, this is a film that never goes over the top, and manages to be both a good action movie and a thoughtful portrayal of the effect that the desire for revenge can have on people. Fans of the comic will find it well worth a look. Those after a decent action movie shouldn't be disappointed either.
- JaredXIIINovember 2, 2024The best Punisher movie to-date. It is very much the Frank Castle of PunisherMAX. It is such a 2000s movie in every way.
