Review – 7/10
Reflix – Going into this film I thought – oh no, a film where Dwight tries to rock-out. As much as I love The Office and even though Rainn Wilson was hilarious on his episode of SNL (especially his SNL Digital Short), I was fearing the worst, especially after a 39% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I think the pitch for this film was “That Thing You Do! with Dwight” because that’s what it feels like.

This week we’ve got a few DVDs that have come out and I have a lot to say on just about each one. Here we go!
Synopsis: After killing the head of the Maggia crime family, Frank Castle must defeat Jigsaw to save the life of a widow and her daughter.
Review: I wanted to like this film so much. I thought giving it an R-rating, combined with some decent action, a great actor (Ray Stevenson, from HBO’s Rome fame) and a decent story, this might be the resurrection of The Punisher. Unfortunately, I was way off. The film suffers a lot, mainly from its visual and sound effects as well as the performance of Dominic West, who I loved in 300. The visual effects are just horrible – the blood splatters are unrealistic (please, somebody in Hollywood watch Dexter), the executions are unbelievable, and the makeup, especially Jigsaw’s face, is horrible. He looks more like one of the Geico Cavemen than a comic book villain. The sound effects are also terrible, with unsynced dubbing and unrealistic sounds. Also, some of the scenes in the cars are not as polished as you normally see in films. Is there anything worth watching in this film? Absolutely. Read the rest of this entry »
