Member Rating:  
Marvel Comics' vigilante character The Punisher gets another big-screen outing in this third film incarnation of the character, this time from Green Street Hooligans director Lexi Alexander. Fueled by revenge and aided by his trusted weapons expert, Microchip (Wayne Knight), vigilante Frank Castle (Rome's Ray Stevenson) turns the New York City streets red with blood as he takes down each and every member of the crime syndicate responsible for the death of his wife and two kids. As the law-appointed "Punisher Task Force" closes in on him, the antihero does battle with Billy Russoti (Dominic West), aka Jigsaw, a nickname given by him to reflect the disfigurement handed to him by Castle. With the help of his psychotic brother, Loony Bin Jim (Doug Hutchison), Jigsaw recruits the criminals of the city to band together to bring down The Punisher, using the wife (played by Dexter's Julie Benz) and daughter of a slayed FBI agent as bait. Art Marcum, Matt Holloway, and Nick Santora provide the screenplay for the Lionsgate release. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

I kind of like this movie. It was very unusual to see this in a movie of the way to dispatch criminals and bad guys. Let me say it was very efficient and I happen to like efficiency. The lead actor played it well-off.

Not bad. Maybe not quite as good as the first, but not bad ... meaning, pretty good. Better sequel than the Transporter sequels. Decent story. Girl director, the new trend after Hurt Locker. Lots of shoot 'em-up action, not too much CGI, which is ruining so many action flicks these days. Blu-Ray is full 7.1, which is slick.

This sequel was a big let-down, although my expectations were probably just too high after seeing the first one. I much preferred the actor, Thomas Jane, who played the main character in the first movie. The plot in this movie was a little weak, but the action and special effects were very good -- Warning to those sensitive to gore: this movie is VERY graphic.

This Punisher movie stays truer to the comic than any of the previous ones.

Jamie Z.

Terrible!! I enjoyed the first movie, and I liked Ray Stevenson a lot in "Rome", but it was cheesy and overly violent/gory.

Yes   |   No


Patrick F.

Over-the-top violent and very comic bookish. Could not finish watching, even after trying 3-4 seperate times to finish it.

Yes   |   No


William C.

Pretty good flick, a bit on the graphic side when it comes to the bountiful violence, but you can't help but root for the Punisher!

Yes   |   No


Kenneth R.
