Punisher: War Zone - The opposite of punishment

Published: May 31, 2016, 10:25 p.m.

b'Our final film in our superhero threepeat is 2008\'s MCU bonkersfest Punisher: War Zone and its a masterpiece. Its the most violent, over the top, ridiculous, preposterous, bad-assery, poorly acted gem of an incredible time. It would have been impossible for this film to be successful but it is also impossible to NOT be a cult-classic. It\'s great.\\r\\nRay Stevenson kills it as the Punisher. There should be no other person to ever play Frank Castle (Sorry Joe Bernthal, Punisher doesn\'t have roof top conversations with men in tights; he just kills people). Ray\'s big, formidable, and hardly has any lines. He\'s brilliant.\\r\\nThen there\'s the action sequences....bonkers. Within the first 10 minutes of the film, you\'ve either left the theater or gobbling up popcorn while trying not to blink. Lexi Alexander basically said, "Fuck it" and just went out and gave everyone what they wanted (except the investors). \\r\\nWhile a totally bad and terrible film, there\'s a level of quality in how dumb it is. It seems that Lexi Alexander had nothing but bad surrounding her. She was working with a script that the guy who wrote Armageddon walked away from, she\'s got Doug and Dominic stinking it up because no one else would do it, and she\'s got Loinsgate to deal with and we know how good they are at ruining their own projects. She took all this bad and just had fun with it and we applaud her directing ability to make this turd a true gem. We can\'t stress how much this film kicks ass. There\'s few words to describe it and we insist that you don\'t miss Punisher: War Zone.'
