Punisher: War Zone Storyline

Punisher: War Zone follows Frank Castle deep into his brutal war on organised crime, where his methods become even more violent and personal. After accidentally killing an undercover FBI agent, Castle faces the consequences while battling the grotesque villain Jigsaw and his criminal empire. Based on the Marvel anti-hero, the film embraced the comic’s darker, bloodier side more than any previous adaptation.

Punisher: War Zone Review - 6/10 Rating

Punisher: War Zone feels like someone handed a comic book to an action director and said ‘make this as violent as legally possible.’ Ray Stevenson is outstanding as Frank Castle, bringing the right mix of pain and relentless force, while Dominic West’s Jigsaw is gloriously over-the-top. It is brutal, ridiculous and strangely comic-accurate. Not subtle, but probably the closest live-action Punisher got to feeling like the comics.
