“Nothing bad ever happens in Hawaii” It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good, solid suspense movie that didn’t have a bad story or a lame twist (“The Village”, anyone??) so I’ve been looking forward to seeing this movie.

Fitting, especially for a grim and gritty character based on Garth Ennis's Punisher Max comic book series … [Read more...] about Punisher: War Zone
