Synopsis: Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the "Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds go unpunished.

For anyone who ever read any Punisher comics growing up, or still are as adults, then they can attest that they are constantly full of violence, blood, guts and gore, and very light on comedy. Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and The Hulk CANNOT be compared to The Punisher in anyway, so if someone watches these other Marvel movies and likes them, then attempts to watch this newest Punisher movie expecting the same lighthearted cartoon violence and humor, then it would have been like going to the polls and actually thinking a vote for McCain would've meant something (oops, too soon?). Getting back on topic, out of the 3 actors who've starred as the title character, Ray Stevenson has looked the MOST like the Punisher during the War Zone story arc. He was big, gritty, gruff, and not clean shaven. He wasn't a pretty boy like Thomas Jane, and he wasn't some eastern bloc pinko like Dolph Lundgren (seriously, who the hell casted him?! Jesse Ventura would've even been a better choice!)
So in short, I'm giving this movie 5 stars, because as a true Punisher fan, this movie is the closest to the comics as any of the movies. The first movie was beyond pathetic. The second was good, in fact much of the plot taken directly out of Punisher comics, but way too much humor injected into it and not enough action. This movie has all the action, blood, and death, plus Jigsaw, The Punisher's arch-nemesis. OH, and by the way, Jigsaw has been around since the 1980s...he wasn't invented after the filming of the Saw movies, so if you think his name was ripped from other movies, well, you're an idiot.
So for those of you who also truly loved the Punisher back in the old days, watch this movie! And you'll know exactly what I mean when I say...until The Punisher throws away his guns and takes on an appeasement approach...MAKE MINE MARVEL!!!
Please pay no attention to the bad reviews. Honestly, what were you thinking when you walked into this? Did you want some hard crime drama or something? No, it's a straight up action flick that gives us exactly that, ACTION! I won't lie, there were some cheesy moments, but overall this was a really fun flick. Basically, if you dig action movies, maybe those 80's action flicks, you will dig this. It's campy, it's bloody and it's a load of fun. Don't be a critic.
I saw this film yesterday and I believe it's the best action film this year. I can't decide which film is best, this one, or the 2004 film with Thomas Jane and John Travolta. But I do know that Ray Stevenson was an excellent choice for this film. I think every actor did a wonderful job with their roles.
I enjoyed the action, could have been a little less graphic, but I enjoyed it anyway. The nearly constant action and blood might sound overwhelming, but it does have some funny moments here and there. I wish the movie focused a little more on the Punisher himself and not so much on the criminals. Bottom line this is definately a must-see for any punisher or action movie fan.
