Welcome to the Punch 2013

Welcome to the Punch     A notorious thief was on a big job when Detective Max Lewinski entered the crime scene even though he had been instructed to wait for backup.  Jacob Sternwood shot Max in the leg and he is lucky to be alive.  It has been three years since the shooting and Max is still waiting to meet up with Jacob again.  Jacob’s son is admitted to a London hospital with a gunshot wound and Max believes this is his chance to put Jacob behind bars.  Max begins to discover there is a massive conspiracy and he’s just a small piece in a much bigger machine.
    There are so many gun standoffs that you begin to grow very weary.  The twists and turns are like going though a maze, you may never come out the other side?  Does Mark Strong ever tire of being the bad guy?  2 ½* (This movie is so-so)

99 min, Mystery & Suspense directed by Eran Creevy with James McAvoy, Mark Strong, Peter Mullan, David Morrissey, Andrea Riseborough, Johnny Harris, Daniel Mays, Natasha Little.

Note:  Blockbuster 2 ½*, imdb 6.1 out of 10, 50% critic 39% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
