Storyline
Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the "Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds go unpunished.

Dominic West (The Wire) plays a facially mutilated Mob boss as if he's in a broad SNL sketch.

The script isn't what matters here: This is a slasher movie with guns, and, uh, huh-huh, that's pretty cool.

Variety
Along with torrents of gore, Punisher: War Zone has moments that are deliriously funny, because the violence is so awful and so casual.

It looks great, it hurtles through its paces and is well-acted. The soundtrack is like elevator music if the elevator were in a death plunge. The special effects are state of the art. Its only flaw is that it's disgusting.

The film works a bit better than the 2004 "Punisher" installment, the one starring surly, dislikable Thomas Jane as Frank Castle.
