OK first thing people say about it is that its not as good as the first one. Which i can respect that opinion, but if you watch both movies you realize they are two different movies! This one shows the more brutal, and carefree Punisher that all comic book fans know and love! Where the first one is the emotional side(which is not a bad thing). War Zone steps away from the death of his family a little, and focuses on the other aspects of The Punisher. Ray Stevenson in my opinion is the perfect punisher, hes mean, rough looking, and has the perfect attitude! Now I will give you the fact that the acting is kinda off, but aside from that, this is a great, balls to the wall action flick! Check it out, and make your own opinion! Both films are great! Just watch it with a very opened mind! Enjoy!
