If you're looking for a decent action flick, Punisher War Zone is not a good choice. This is one of those cases where Marvel Comics should have left the previous version alone and move onto something different.
Replacing Thomas Jane (has a new show on HBO called Hung; looks very promising so far!) with Ray Stevenson was a terrible idea. Stevenson has zero likeability in this flick and he'll never flash believable emotions of a man who lost his family to the mob. If you have a weak stomach and a need for a good writing, this is not the movie to look to. The goryness of this film is not so much gross as it is unnecessary. Marvel is branding this under the more mature geared name Marvel Knights and it's getting off to a good start. Blade is far superior when it comes to films geared towards adult audiences.
I always thought that Marvel would do well with rated R type movies but its just not the case. The X-Men, Spider-man, and soon to be Iron Man series has done quite well for PG13 movies. Is it me or does Ray Stevenson resembles Sean Bean? You know, the guy from the 1st Lord of the Rings.
