This film is terrible, but hilarious. The villains are so over the top that they make the movie, and the first action scene is so stupid that it's funny

I didn't expect Shakespearean quality in this picture. I knew I was watching someones interpretation of a comic book story. I get the lack of common sense and I try not to invoke too much plausibility because a story cannot be without some characters poor choices.For about the first half hour, I thought the movie flowed well and the cinematography was perfect. However, as it played on, the film devolved to the point of a third-rate feature at some long-forgotten drive-in of my youth. You know, the kind you didn't mind taking a break from in order to visit the snack shack.This film has its fans of course and I can understand the appeal. But I grew tired of gore after enduring much of it during the 80's because it just doesn't carry any shock value, nor does it tell us anything we can't already imagine.While Ray Stevenson depicts Frank Castle much better that Thomas Jane or Dolph Lundgren, and his interaction with the daughter of the FBI agent he killed is bittersweet, there wasn't much else to the entire production to elicit more than a rating of 2.I believe that the film was lost behind the scenes after I read the trivia section. There were the usual machinations that occur on every film production, but unfortunately for "Punisher: War Zone" they were insurmountable and it shows.

The Punisher: War Zone (2008): Dir: Lexi Alexander / Cast: Ray Stevenson, Dominic West, Julie Benz, Doug Hutchison, Wayne Knight: Every bit as stupid as the 2004 version only this time Ray Stevenson plays Frank Castle who dishes out justice upon those whom get away. When he accidentally kills an undercover FBI agent he is overcome with guilt. Directed by Lexi Alexander with a screenplay that is constant bang, boom, pow, ka-boom! It was either an easy shoot for Alexander or too many lazy days bored on set hoping the the next project wasn't this bad. Either way this is absolute junk at its most depraved. Stevenson as Castle basically beats the tar out of people or blows their faces off with guns. This is not a hero to be applauded. Others who were talked into this mess are Dominic West, Julie Benz and Doug Hutchison. They have all done better work in better films but this is certainly one of their lowest points. Why this film was made is not known. The other film was hardly a box office success so it is hardly likely that another film was in high demand. In fact, there is no demand for this piece of crap period. The production values are mediocre at best. I've seen commercials selling action figures that had more suspense presented than what is in this pointless sh*t. Poorly made farce that should be placed alongside the other version for target practice. Score: 1 / 10
