Two of my favorite actors – James McAvoy and Mark Strong – star in Welcome to the Punch, heading to theaters on March 28, 2013. Throw in David Morrissey (The Walking Dead), Andrea Riseborough, and Peter Mullan, and Welcome to the Punch becomes even more interesting (and more of a must-see).
The Plot:
The second feature from acclaimed British music video director and filmmaker Eran Creevy, Welcome to the Punch is the story of two arch-nemeses: detective Max Lewinsky (James McAvoy) and master criminal Jacob Sternwood (Mark Strong). When Sternwood escaped three years ago after a daring robbery, Max was left emotionally and physically scarred. But after Sternwood’s son turns up in a hospital due to a failed heist, he’s forced to return to London – giving Max his second chance to get the one criminal who got away. Yet as Max delves deeper into the case he uncovers a vast conspiracy.
