Movie Monday: Punisher: War Zone
5 10 2009Woohoo! Alright, Goblinites, I am back.
I apparently saved Friday’s post as a draft. Woops. It’s published now. That being said, on the block this week is Punisher: War Zone.

Spoilers in green, sirs and madams.
Punisher: War Zone sports writing far superior to the previous Punisher cinematic endeavor, and War Zone is MUCH less of a family film, with ridiculously graphic violence, swearing, and some of the finest high-end super-action ever.
In the first few minutes, Frank Castle wipes out a huge branch of a mafia family, breaking old people’s necks, decapitating, machine gunning, and generally being awesome.
He eventually shoves a man into a glass smashing machine, creating Jigsaw, his arch-nemesis, shotguns a helpless captive in the face, and hits a free runner in the face with an RPG.
The writing is superb, making Castle feel older, slower, and still stronger than anyone you’d want to tangle with. The feel is amazing, the plot is solid, simple, and a total blast. See War Zone, if you haven’t already.
