Punisher: War Zone

Punisher Series (nowplayingpodcast.com/series/punisher) Episode 3

The Punisher’s attempts at a franchise continue to be shot down. While 2004’s Punisher film failed to blow up the box office, strong DVD sales convinced Lionsgate to move ahead on a sequel-only to have director Jonathan Hensleigh and star Thomas Jane drop out. But the project moved on, now a second reboot for the Marvel Knight. Ray Stevenson strapped on the skull-logo flack jacket to fight classic comic book villian Jigsaw in this ultra-violent comic adaptation. Does this third Punisher film finally hit the target, or is it yet another misfire? Listen to Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart’s final installment in the Punisher Retrospective Series to find out!
