Synopsis
The Love Punch (2014) is a breezy heist comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Joel Hopkins reunites Emma Thompson and Pierce Brosnan as a long-divorced couple dragged back into each other's orbit for one absurd scheme.
On his last day before retirement, Richard learns his company has been gutted by fraud and the staff pension fund — his own included — has vanished. The courts would take a decade. So he talks ex-wife Kate into something reckless: stealing a ten-million-dollar diamond from the businessman who ruined them. Their friends, played by Celia Imrie and Timothy Spall, sign on for the ride.
What follows runs from the French Riviera to a black-tie gala, a scuba dive, and a robbery that falls apart in real time. The plot is thin and knows it. The reason to watch is the sparring between Thompson and Brosnan, who bicker like exes who never quite let go. Light, sunny, ninety-odd minutes of well-dressed mischief.
