Welcome to the Punch (2013 Eran Creevy & scr)

Well, it's a stupid title. The writing is only so-so, but you attend more for the cast than anything, especially Mark Strong (who's so cool), but also James McEvoy, Andrea Riseborough, Daniel Mays, Johnny Harris, David Morrissey, Peter Mullan, Daniel Kaluuya and Ruth Sheen.

Film doesn't use London as a location at all: it could be Vancouver! And has been colour timed blue - it's a blue movie. This and the nightclub scene made me think that Bladerunner has been quite influential stylistically, and Ridely Scott is here an exec producer.

We saw Creevy's Shifty with Riz Ahmed and Daniel Mays.
