What I’m Watching Tonight; Punisher: War Zone
Tonight I’m going to be checking out the new Punisher: War Zone movie on DVD. I just got my copy and am hopefully going to enjoy a good movie.
I did not in any way enjoy the first Punisher movie, which is why I didn’t run out to the theater to check this one out. But, I do like the way it has been described: it’s a relentless catalogue of brutal mayhem punctuated, here and there, with outrageous sentimentality. Sounds good.
The simple plot of the Punisher: War Zone is where Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher (Ray Stevenson) has dedicated his life to killing the kind of gangsters who murdered his family. But when he unknowingly kills an undercover FBI agent, Castle falls into a crisis of conscience and decides to lay down his guns. Unfortunately, one of the last gangsters he thought he’d killed survived, albeit horribly disfigured, and seeks revenge on the wife and daughter of that slain FBI agent–so Castle has to go one last spree of vigilante justice!
