“Welcome to the Punch” is slightly reminiscent of Michael Mann’s cat-and-mouse thriller “ Heat ,” but Creevy’s movie pales in comparison.
Meanwhile, McAvoy and Strong engage in a decidedly Heat-like tango of mutual wary respect that suggests they’re more alike than either of them would care to admit.
Writer/director Creevy draws on fast-paced, bullet-riddled John Woo and Tony Scott flicks, along with a heavy dose of Mann's Heat.
Sure enough, there’s a good deal of Mann’s Heat in Creevy’s sophomore effort.
It’s the kind of culture-fart that David Cameron would approve of; it’s got mass appeal – a thriller fashioned as the British Heat.
He also acknowledges in the press notes a love of films like “Heat” and “Infernal Affairs” and then feebly tries to rip them off.
