Throughout the comical commentary track she shares with cinematographer Steve Gainer, she tries to convince us that Punisher: War Zone is one of the best, most faithful comic book adaptations ever. In the grand pantheon of blind bat guardians, Lexi Alexander has to be the most baffled of them all. Even when their big screen brat runs around shrieking like a reject and shows as much brainpower as an inbred hillbilly homunculus, they put their aesthetic arm around their pointed little profit margin and kiss the box office boo-boo until it’s all better. The movies they make are a lot like their children, and as with most good parents, they are reluctant to consider said offspring anything other than perfect.
