Ray Stevenson is much more "Punisher" than Thomas Jan can ever be in 100more Punisher movies. Lexi Alexander did a hell of a bad ass job! This woman is bad :D *love it!* Great action, great Punisher, no matter what other people say a really great and bad villain in Jigsaw (played by Dominic West) and all in all a hell of a short brutal, bloody PUNISHER ACTION COMIC FILM! WHAT YOU WANT MORE`? don't get it! thx lexi!.. thx ray!

Jigsaw rocks, cause in this movie, you can see what a really bad villain is all about! NO MORE JOKER 4 ME.. West give us a real bloodthirsty villain and a most dangerous one at that.
