Punisher: War Zone

Starring: Ray Stevenson, Dominic West, Doug Hutchison, Colin Salmon

Directed By: Lexi Alexander

Opening: Dec 5, 2008

About The Movie: We live in an era of “reboots” – starting something over again while conveniently pretending it never existed before – so why be surprised that Marvel’s deadly antihero The Punisher (who’s appeared twice before in less-than-successful feature films) is getting another run at the big screen? This time, Ray Stevenson (Rome) takes on the iconic sulk and firepower of vigilante crime fighter Frank Castle, one of the dourest fellows in comics history. Kickboxing champion-turned-filmmaker Lexi Alexander (Green Street Hooligans) directs; expect mostly gunplay-heavy action as The Punisher takes on the grotesquely-scarred kingpin Jigsaw.
