Punisher: War Zone

Infamous vigilante and anti-hero Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) is six years into his vengeance-driven zeal as the Punisher when he brutally assaults a "beat the rap" party for notorious mob boss Gaitano Cesare. During the course of the massacre, he is alerted to the fact that Billy Russoti (Dominic West) has escaped to his recycling plant hideout by Detective Saffiotti (Tony Calabretta) who along with Detective Martin Soap (Dash Mihok) were staking out the party. Castle infiltrates Russoti's hideout and murders Nicky Donatelli (Romano Orzari) as he is exiting the bathroom. The ensuing gunshot alerts Russoti, and a brief fire fight between he and Castle ensues, ending in Russoti being thrown into a glass-crushing machine which only ends up hideously disfiguring the overeager gangster. Another gun fight takes place between Frank and Russoti's men. Castle, who has taken cover behind the body of Donatelli, realizes that the man he killed was wearing a wire. As the police arrive Castle exits through the roof of the recycling plant.

Agent Paul Budiansky (Colin Salmon), the ex-partner of the undercover Fed, joins the NYPD's "Punisher Task Force" and partners up with Detective Martin Soap (Dash Mihok) to help bring Castle to justice, once and for all. Meanwhile, a facially mutilated Russoti recovers from his run-in with the Punisher with revenge on his mind and recruits a massive army of psychotic killers, gangbangers, and mobsters under his new alias "Jigsaw," while freeing his brother, Loony Bin Jim (Doug Hutchison) in the process.

Distraught that he has now become the very evil he swore to battle, Castle attempts to make reparations to the Donnatelli family (Julie Benz and Stephanie Janusauskas) to no avail, and considers retiring from the vigilante business. However, information from his partner and armorer, Microchip (Wayne Knight), plans quickly change once he learns that Jigsaw learns of Donnatelli's family's existence, and attempts to kidnap them.
