Critic Reviews:

• " Tense, beautifully shot and great performances from its male leads, Welcome To The Punch is more than your average British cop film and it's an appreciated addition to the genre. " – Katie Smith-Wong

• " A cinematic love letter to contemporary London, truly capturing the enchanting nature of the capital at night. " – Stefan Pape

• " Welcome to the Punch is by no means groundbreaking or challenging as a motion picture, but it packs a lot of (pun intended) punch. " – Jennifer Heaton
