      bloody irony

      I think a lot of people after watching The Punisher 2 - War Zone will think it's a bloody action movie with no nutrition. Indeed, the plot of the film is nothing new, and there is no suspense, and the actors in the film do not have any outstanding performances. Movies of this type may at best satisfy a simple-minded person like me who loves the sensuality of blood type and violence. However, in this film I saw not only blood and violence, but also irony and reflection.

      Let the violence be more violent

      Frank's movements are smooth, not sloppy, ruthless, cutting grass and rooting, all movements are done in one go, leaving behind a piece of mutilated corpse behind his back. Hehe, very violent.
         In the film, the severed fingers, the blown head, the chopped thighs, and the blood splattered everywhere. The color is black, and the action is also in the dark, only the red blood and the flash of bullets can see the brilliance of the color. In addition to violence is still violence, in addition...

      Violence with violence, maybe this is what we need

      I watched "The Punisher 2" at night, one word: cool; two words: enjoyable; three words: real NB; and so on...
        Frank used to be an FBI agent, representing the justice of the bureaucracy. But when his wife and children died unexpectedly, he became an underground judge outside the traditional sanctions system, a justice messenger who evolved from revenge to punishment. Using ruthless means to fight against all illegal forces, without the constraints of law and identity, this job is done by...

      The Punisher 2: Pure Violence

      Since the law cannot punish bad people, there must always be justice, and that is the punisher.

      It's just that Punisher has no superpowers, can't fly, and has no steel shell. Some are just firearms provided by friends, and they appear in body armor. In order to take revenge for his wife and children, and to achieve justice, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others, integrating the police, the judge, and the execution. Since those cancers have escaped the punishment of...

      This movie sucks!

      This movie sucks. You don't need to check to know that the box office is not very high. First of all, the first discomfort is that the protagonist has been replaced, and the original familiar feeling of excitement has been lost. Moreover, without John Volta, the appeal of the dark forces has lost most of it. The director must be counting on the success of the first film to make money. It is good that this movie can be done well for such purpose. To do this is a bit too much. The editing is not...

      In fact, I quite like the setting of this antihero. The villain can't bear it anymore, I can only see that the uncle punished with a headshot, the first half of the massacre of the gangster is really cool, hanging around the chandelier, and smashing the face with one punch. Clean and neat violence, really Very emotional. The male protagonist changed to Uncle Lei, and the painting style became more and more B-level and more like a game...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Thomas Elliott, the actor of the first season, was still selected as the protagonist when the film was being prepared. Later, because of the schedule and Thomas himself, it was eventually replaced by George Raymond Stevenson.

    Background creation

    In fact, "Punisher: War Zone" is also a miracle. First of all, the box office of the first two films can be called, Word-of-mouth is embarrassing to collapse, but the third part of the series is still photographed.
    Secondly, everyone knows that this series of movies based on one main character is fatal, but the three main characters of "Punisher: War Zone" have been changed.
    Third, for such a bloody, violent, and full of male hormone ,...

    Movie quotes

    • Martin Soap: So when did Donatelli go undercover?

      Special Agent Paul Budiansky: We were partners in narcotics. Unfortunately, most of the blow we confiscated ended up in my nose. Internal Affairs tried to get Nicky to rat me out. He wouldn't, so they sent him undercover. He's dead because of me.

      Martin Soap: So you still "skiin' the old alps"?

      Special Agent Paul Budiansky: No. That's in the past.

    • Jigsaw: [Jigsaw's recruitment speech] Whoa, gentlemen, gentlemen. Relax. We're lookin' for, uh, a few good men. And we'd like to offer you the opportunity to be... all that you can be. Now we've all suffered loss at the hands of the Punisher. And because we don't look like everybody else, and because we don't act like everybody else, nobody does a goddamn thing about it! Well I say he ain't the only one who can take the law into his own hands. So if you're as sick of this cocksucker as I am, raise your armies. You'll be well paid, you'll be well armed, and at the end of it, the Punisher will be dead!

    • Billy Russoti: Catch!

      [throws Frank his gun]

      Billy Russoti: What do you say we play a game? You got one round left in there. You shoot one of these two, and I'll let the other go free. So, who's it going to be, your fat friend over here, or the nice little piece of jailbait over there?

      Frank Castle: Burn in hell.

      Billy Russoti: Okay, then they both die.

      Micro: Frank! She's a kid, shoot me.
