Have I used the idiom "pack a punch" correctly? Are these correct?
1. Even though her latest novel is rather short, it packs quite a punch. She deserves credit for being concise and impactful.
2. I think Eva has peaked as a filmmaker. Her last two films before "The Window" packed a punch but her latest feature fails to impact the audience both in terms of the story and the way it is told.
3. One of his fortes as a writer is using sentences that are short but pack a punch.
4. Be careful with that sauce. It packs a serious punch. It literally set my mouth on fire when I slathered too much of it on my pizza.
5. Gareth's no lightweight and can drink us all under the table, but even he couldn't drink more than two shots of this vodka. It packs a punishing punch.
