Avengers Confidential Black Widow & Punisher

Avengers Confidential takes place in the Marvel Anime universe, more notably as a follow-up to Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore. It's put together by animation studio Mad House and written by comic scribe Marjorie Liu. The story deals with SHIELD taking Frank Castle (Brian Bloom) into custody for mucking up one of their operations by getting involved and killing nearly every bad guy in the vicinity. He and Natasha Romanoff (Jennifer Carpenter) are reluctantly partnered together to go after Leviathan, a major terrorist sect, who according to Widow, is involved in everything bad ever.

The two discover Leviathan's plan to create an army of brainwashed super soldiers using superhero blood. One of the main players in this plot is a former SHIELD scientist named Elihas Starr (Grant George), who was once the love of Black Widow's life. In fact, he faked his own death and joined Leviathan for the sake of turning himself into a super soldier so he could consider himself "worthy" of Widow's love. The fact that he was just a lowly scientist and Natasha was part of a whole superhero lifestyle drove him mad even if she already loved him. You can probably figure out his entire storyline in this movie just from this starting point.

The best thing Avengers Confidential has going for it is the action. The opening few minutes (outside of the bizarre newspaper headline that says, "PUNISHER: HERO OR MURDER?") features a scene of Castle singlehandedly killing a couple dozen criminals and it's so good that you're kind of sad that the rest of the movie won't be exactly this. There are plenty of action sequences throughout the story and they all look fantastic. Though it's very much like watching somebody play Tekken at times because while Black Widow will get the absolute crap kicked out of her, she'll get up just fine with no markings, no injuries, no blood, and no damage to her outfit.

There's also some questionable stuff in the fights. Frank and Natasha will occasionally air out their grievances by fighting to the death, including Frank trying to shoot her in the face at point blank range several times. They also do a silly bit where they punch each other's fists at the same time and try to push forward as if that would do anything. Oh, and Frank apparently has super speed the way he dashes forward at multiple points. Regardless, it's all pretty cool and super violent at times without showing much in terms of blood.
