Welcome to the Punch

Actors:  James McAvoy , Mark Strong, Andrea Riseborough, Elyes Gabel, Peter Mullan, David Morrissey
Rating:  7 out of 10, A very, very British cops and robbers piece with an attempt at dragging political intrigue in.  The cops and robbers were really well done while the political stuff was forced and unbelievable.  An extremely strong cast that were a bit overwrought at times and just plain cannot shoot straight.  After spending the entire movie unable to hit the ocean with their shooting the two “heroes” join forces and literally can’t miss.  I was laughing at their prowess after wondering at their earlier futility.  This was a tough one at times for a colonist to understand the thick accents but overall a well done police drama.
MVP:  Mark Strong as Jacob Sternwood the thief coming back to avenge his son, always a dominating screen presence
