I enjoyed this very much !!! Too bad half of it is on cutting-room floor, Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2014.

Welcome to the Punch is a little deeper and more thoughtful than most police dramas -- but not quite enough to surmount its thinly written characters and numbing violence. |, March 28, 2013

Enjoy! Can't avoid feeling like an appetizer before the real meal. Welcome to the Punch opens stateside on March 15th. After which, Max is placed on the case full time, even as his partner Sarah Hawks(Andrea Riseborough) worries that he might be too emotionally involved, only to be expected considering that Jacob kneecapped him the last time he tried to capture him.

Fantastic full on action and suspense that I rated this an A grade plus actors are brilliant and the story is a winner. The bonus feature mentions that a lot of back-story was cut, which left the film with a lot of action (shooting, punching, yelling); that's all well and good, but personally, I would have preferred a three-hour film that made the characters more three-dimensional, and made the motivations and the story-line a little more clear.

But because the police do not take the advice of Detective Max Lewinsky(James McAvoy), Jacob is able to elude about half the Icelandic military in his escape. The film did remind me of films like Killer Elite and Heat.

A cinematic love letter to contemporary London, truly capturing the enchanting nature of the capital at night. When the punch has arrived, slow spells, distancing overstylization, many a glaring subtlety issue, undercooked and superficial characterization, and seriously generic storytelling send the final product spiraling to the edge of mediocrity, into which it ultimately does not decent, as there is enough handsomeness to cinematography, thrills to action, inspired areas to direction and strong performances - especially the leading one by James McAvoy - for "Welcome to the Punch" (Seriously, if nothing else is kind of awesome about this film, it's that title) to entertain just fine as a decent thriller, even if it offers only so much worth remembering.

If this film this film has nothing else going for it, it's entertaining action and style, and some would argue that if Eran Creevy had his way, this film really would only have that going for it, because when it comes to substance, this film really is a mess, so much so that it runs the risk of collapse into mediocrity. Despite its visual polish and fine ensemble, this British police drama is strictly by-the-numbers. Well, in all fairness, it can't possibly be easy for Creevy, as director, to stand a chance of fully compensating for the problems with his script, whose same-old-same-old dialogue ranges from weak to, well, more-or-less embarrassing, and whose characterization is paper-thin, offering the barest minimum of development, if even that, while drawing superficial characters who have only so many layers. |, November 1, 2018

Welcome of the Punch has all of the hallmarks of a dramatic noir-type genre piece.
