Synopsis
Punisher:
War Zone is a 2008 American comic book action film directed by Lexi
Alexander; based on the fictional Marvel Comics vigilante/anti-hero the
Punisher. The film is a reboot which follows the original telling of
Frank Castle's war on crime and corruption rather than a sequel to
2004's The Punisher, and is the first film to be produced under the
Marvel Studios and Marvel Knights production banner, which focuses on
films for mature audiences. Irish actor Ray Stevenson replaces Thomas
Jane as Frank Castle. In the film, Castle wages a one-man war against a
horribly disfigured mob boss known as Jigsaw (Dominic West).
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.
