Punisher: War Zone Ratings & Reviews
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
If a picture were to win awards for how magnificently it impaled a dreadlocked convenience store robber or spectacularly it beheaded indignant elderly mob bosses then Punisher: War Zone would make a clean sweep of the evening.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
At one point, the Punisher is asked who punishes him. The better question for those who made this inane bloodfest is: Why punish us?
Seattle Times
Mark Rahner
The ultraviolent third stab at Marvel's homicidal vigilante is the best and closest to the source material.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Assuming you can appreciate the high level of gore and assorted sadistic weirdness, the action is satisfying and the dark story is close to the tone of its Marvel Comics source material.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
The acting is better than the script deserves and Lexi Alexander's cut-to-the-hearse direction lends the film considerable kick. But there is a steel spike at the end of Punisher's boot that will gouge your eyes out.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
With its dopey fight scenes, grimy look and goopy gore, this movie is so far from ept that inept is the wrong word. It's anti-ept.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
This is purely gutter, fanboy, Cheez Whiz cinema, but Alexander delivers the goods.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Does it have to be so witless, so stupid, so openly contemptuous of the very audience it(TM)s supposed to be pandering to?
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
This is the third crack Hollywood has taken at the comic-book hero the Punisher. They say the third time's the charm. But then, they say a lot of things.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This awful sequel dispenses with any such pretense, its cartoonish characters running an endless gauntlet of hypergruesome violence.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
If most of the budget has gone to ordnance and blood squibs, director Lexi Alexander films the sprays of gore with an artisan's eye, and the results make effective if morally indefensible movie red meat.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Anyone with a modicum of good sense -- or a weak stomach -- will take it as a warning to stay the heck away from this literally and figuratively deadly War Zone.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
It's a joyless plunge into gunfire that doesn't even know how to draw blood.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The film works a bit better than the 2004 Punisher installment, the one starring surly, dislikable Thomas Jane as Frank Castle.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Marvel's latest chunk of comic-book pulp strikes the usual brooding poses, but the film is so utterly ridiculous -- make that bloody ridiculous -- that its self-induced giggle fits become downright hilarious.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Like the Punisher says to one of his victims: 'Let me put you out of my misery.'
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
You used to be able to depend on a bad film being poorly made. No longer. The Punisher: War Zone is one of the best-made bad movies I've seen.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
If at first you don't succeed, punish, punish again.
Entertainment Weekly
Clark Collis
On the plus side, Punisher: War Zone has one of the all-time great B-movie last lines: 'Oh, God, now I've got brains splattered all over me!'
