After seeing this movie, when you sing Silent Night, you might start thinking of automatic weapons and gang members. Silent Night is directed by John Woo and stars Joel Kinnaman as a Dad who’s young son has been killed by gang members. He’s understandably wrought with grief and filled with rage. He decides that he’s going after the gang that took his son and turned his life into a living hell. Not sounding at all like what the song Silent Night is about? Exactly. The silent part comes from when he’s shot in the throat by a gang member and permanently loses his voice. That doesn’t stop him from training to be Rambo and looking for some payback. Does this movie have very much to do with Christmas? Watch my spoiler-free review to find out and to see if it’s worth firing up the sleigh for this movie. Silent Night also stars Catalina Sandino Moreno, Kid Cudi, Harold Torres, Vinny O’Brien, Yoko Hamamura, Anthony Giulietti and John Pollack.
