  • Director Lexi Alexander Quote

    Regarding the movie cast: "There are not a lot of directors in the process of making a studio action film who can say that they don't have at least one bad actor somebody made them cast. I can say that. Still. (Knocking on every piece of wood as I speak), I have the best cast on the planet. The movie Gods were watching over me. As I look at their headshots on the wall in my office, my heart does little summersaults. And... I have the perfect, most talented Jigsaw!!!!!!! Stay tuned."SuperHeroHype.com: New Punisher Cast...

    • "BOTTOM LINE A new kind of comic-book pulp, with extra gristle and gonzo violence."—NewsdayNewsday: Review: Punisher War Zone (December 5, 2008)
    • "Assuming you can appreciate the high level of gore and assorted sadistic weirdness, the action is satisfying and the dark story is close to the tone of its Marvel Comics source material. Most important, it's a movie made by a filmmaker who knows both her audience and her limitations. Budget constraints and other factors ensured that director Lexi Alexander was going to make a B movie, so she embraces its B-movie qualities and crafts a memorable piece of entertainment."—San Fransisco ChronicleSF Gate: Punisher: War Zone Bloody Good (December 5, 2008)
    • "Punisher: War Zone is the best Punisher movie of the three made so far. That said, it's still terrible."—Kansas City StarKansas City Star: Review: Don't bother | 1 Star (December 4, 2008)
