Silent Night

"Most of the reviews for this movie were negative and I couldn't DISAGREE more! Revenge movies are one of my favorite genres and this is an exceptional one. Although the storyline is similar to Death Wish, John Woo crafted a film devoid of dialogue where all pertinent information is conveyed through text messages and police radio announcements, and the actors' emotions. Joel Kinnaman excels in his portrayal of a father grieving the loss of his son to a gangland shooting, depicting heart-wrenching sadness, unconditional parental love, and furious rage, all without uttering a word. The first half of the film depicts Kinnaman planning and training for his revenge for a year, then the second half, sh*t gets wild. John Wick style action sequences that wouldn't be complete without the prerequisite slow motion thrown in, which is John Woo's signature flair. Some parts may seem unrealistic, but it's to be expected for this type of stuff. I was thoroughly entertained. 9/10"

"Wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the best. The action and storyline were good, but could've been better, a great revenge time movie. "

"Way better than it should be. Never been a big John Woo fan but he’s getting props from me for this one. He reels it in a bit and tells a very basic revenge story, with no real twists, in such a unique, mesmerizing, exciting way using absolutely no dialogue. It gets better as it goes. Joel Kinnaman always elevates everything he’s in. Really good practical fx and stunts. Nice Kid Cudi role. Good techno rock soundtrack. Solid action movie. "

"Always enjoy a good vengeance story, especially one that requires transformation."

"The movie was interesting and very action packed, but if the guy could talk then I would’ve rated it 5 stars."

"This movie is a mixture between Taken and Punisher, mixed with a feeling of if you were in Mexico watching the cartels causing problems. Great storyline throughout the movie, as I'm one of those people who likes answers of why this is going on, how they get to point to point of places, and so on, and this movie answers all the questions that I would ask for. This movie is action packed to the brim, so if you're an action film fan, this movie is definitely for you. "

"This movie wasn’t even good enough for one star. Don’t bother it’s terrible!!!!!!"

"This was an awful movie. I kept watching until the end hoping it would get better . Sadly , it did not get better. It’s a very slow burn as well. "

"Not sure if it was the lack of dialogue or the fact that for the first half very little happens and then the second half it’s all slo-mo action scenes from yet another invincible hero. Unfortunately for me the action scenes didn’t save this one for me. Save yourself the time and watch, the much better, Violent Night, instead."

"Ill conceived and poorly executed. Don’t waste your time."
