Punisher: War Zone is going to be the subject of the Punch Drunk Critics first video review! That being said I just wanted to drop a really quick review for anyone making their way out to the theater tonight.
This flick is not gonna win an oscar...I think we all knew that going in, that being said I was completely satisfied leaving the theater. I started to get down on this flick after reading some of the reviews out there but I'll be honest they were way off. There are bad performances and there are some silly moments but this is a hardcore action flick, it's to be expected. What this movie does deliver is the real Punisher, the one we haven't seen in the theater until now. Balls to the wall action, exploding heads, merciless justice, and everything else that we came to know action movies for thanks to names like Seagal, Stallone, and Van Damme. I hope this flick makes enough to warrant a sequel because I think other than the villian Jigsaw being a little (ok alot in some parts), over the top this was an amazing action movie that any fan of the genre should see in the theater.
8/10 on the Action movie scale
5/10 on the Snooty Cinematic Scale
