Punisher: War Zone
Genre: Crime, Thriller, Drama
Release Date: December 5
Cast: Ray Stevenson, Dominic West, Doug Hutchison, Wayne Knight, Julie Benz
Scoop: Again waging his one-man war on the organized crime world, hardcore vigilante-hero Frank Castle (Stevenson) is on a mission to stop ambitious mob boss, Billy Russoti (West). After Russoti is left frightfully disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the FBI unable apprehend Jigsaw and the "Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail, Castle must stand up to the deadly army that Jigsaw has recruited.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: You might also need restraining straps -- to stop you from running away -- if your midday visitor was a severely disfigured crime boss on a revenge-seeking mission to kill. Even if you're Jigsaw's ally, who know what'll set him off. Yup, thriller fans should dig this.
