Reviews

"A confident, ambitious and action-rich Brit thriller"
"Welcome To The Punch is thrillingly cinematic, beautifully made, smarter and funnier than you'd expect, and a phenomenal showcase for Creevy and his team"
Oliver Lyttleton, INDIEWIRE
"Borrowing heavily from the steel-glass precision of Michael Mann's Heat - from its clinical neon-bathed cinematography to some cliched but effective musical cues - Punch is a pacy obsession thriller that expertly utilises its metropolitan setting while following a tried-and-tested action recipe that evokes the more visceral works of Hong-Kong auteurs Andrew Lau and John Woo."
Adam Woodward, LITTLE WHITE LIES
"This Punch will leave a mark."
Alex Zane, THE SUN
