Attempt three to successfully bring The Punisher to the big screen got some things right, and some things wrong. This time, Ray Stevenson took the lead role, and whilst we're hardly taking a bullet for the movie and suggesting it's a flat-out overlooked classic, there are some merits to Punisher: War Zone, not least for not compromising on the violence that's been inherent to many Punisher stories. Plus, we quite liked Ray Stevenson in the role.

The script lets the film down, but there's a sense that in other areas of the production, they really put their back in to try and get the film right. As such, whilst it's not our favourite Punisher movie, it's a bit better than it's generally given credit for.
