is a good splatter time for the whole family.



There been many superheroes that used guns as their powers, from the x-men Cable, Bishop then Deadpool. To even the female ones the black widow, Silver sable. But non can top the fury of fully loaded magnum use of the Punisher. Is not a sequel, but another reinvention, told in the way he s tragedy is, Ray Steveson pick up the gun from where Thomas left, but will this third shot, hit the charm. Well they didn't went all Garth Ennis with this one:

A deal was made going down involving the Mob and Biological weapons, and the man behind it was non other than Billy The beut(Dominic West), but one family dinner, a flare light up, their days were over, when the punisher drop uninvited. Blazing their world, one thug of time. But everything change when of he's bullet hit to a undercover Fbi Agent. He take the responsibility to aid the wife(Julie Benz) and the daughter. But when Billy is turn into Jigsaw is payback and there's one person that he need to accomplish it he's mental dead of a brother Jim(Doug Hutchison). With the help of micro(Wayne knight) who pact him with the gear he need. But jigsaw is always one step ahead, especially when it come to the close ones. Hunted by a fbi agent Paul Budiansky(Colin Salmon) and NYPD Det.Martin Soap who wan t him to rott in a cage. Raise your army, cause this gonna be a one man mission.

Ray Stevenson is by far a very impressive and serious Punisher, and he got the mug for it. He raise the bar when it come to the violence of the film. Dominic performance is like your average stereotypical Italian american mobster, made for a family film, i mean really Disney could have hire him for another. Colin performance was to average, the agent that end helping the hero, that can anyone say fantastic four2. Wayne knight have could have some fun moment, from how to bring Castle gun to even tracing the bad guys. Dash Mihok character wasn't that bad, with he's side gag dialog to the a very nice end, he bring some good slapstick(speaking) to the film.

The action that the film have been reused, like the chandelier hanging, it kind remember of a Boondocks stunt, and the transformation of billy was serious taken from Tim Burton Batman, when the joker look at the mirror. The Real fun come when it come to the satirical recruitment that jigsaw and he brother do, that was a lot fun when their standing behind the projection showing the American flag. Now this is the true vision of the punisher world, the violence, and there to much of it there's no wonder Ray was good in he's performance on Rome. But going all campy really confuse it, cause you really don't know is it a serious dark film or a just another late chucky crap flick?

The lightning that it had, made it look darker, just the right tone to what the comic is about. I li red was the right one for the punisher. Lexi Alexander direction to the film was a nice touch to it, from the many panel that show from the beginning of the film, to the relationship that the girl have with Castle, The women knows sensitivity when she see it. But just the acting felt like she already done ABC family films, or even worse Hallmark.

So to close the film extreme violence fit the character, but the direction of the acting just make it confuse, cause there's one liners that is already seen. Thomas James film was pretty good, but didn't have that dark element that make this one perfect. So is pretty much of both previous film that make it into a miss, is brutal in a fun kind of way.
