Punisher: War Zone

Punisher: War Zone (2008) is a Lionsgate and Marvel Studios action film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Lexi Alexander strips the character down to raw violence: Ray Stevenson plays Frank Castle as a former special-forces soldier who hunts organized crime with no remorse and no exit strategy. One hundred and two minutes, no filler.

Frank's latest raid leaves mob boss Billy Russoti badly disfigured. Russoti resurfaces as Jigsaw — played with unhinged energy by Dominic West — and starts building an army to kill the Punisher. At the same time, an FBI task force is closing in on Castle after he accidentally kills one of their own. Julie Benz and Colin Salmon round out the cast on the law-enforcement side. Everyone ends up in the crossfire.
