Silent Night (2023).

Firstly, I would like to condemn all those who rated this movie harshly and negatively. I get it. John Woo was the director and you were definitely expecting an unbelievable action film that will spin your head upside down while not having any hint of reality in it. That's okay! But don't destroy a work of art that took hours, days and months of dedication to bring to life. We humans are hardly pleased or satisfied.

What I said above might hit home hard to some of you, but I want you to know that you need to relax, and accept that nothing can be perfect in this life. Let's not forget, we are all not perfect. Also, criticism is always welcome, but when they are harsh and meant to destroy someone's hard work, I don't see it as criticism.

*Silent Night’ is a controversial movie that has many people regretting why they saw it in the first place and also, saying John Woo’s work was a disappointment. Well, in my opinion this movie was not a disappointment but was an emotional film which a lot of all those that negatively criticized it were people who don't want to be associated with human emotions.

This movie is an action thriller movie that was released during the festive period which a lot of people assumed to be a Christmas movie that would give them a happy ending. Well, it isn't, but for me it was because during the Christmas period not everyone celebrates it in a warm, cozy, happy environment. Some celebrate in sadness, grief, violence incidents and accidents. Therefore they would always remember that particular Christmas as a sad one.

’Silent Night’ was written by Robert Archer Lynn and co-produced by John Woo and four other producers. It is a movie that has limited spoken dialogue. I would call it a mute film that captured grief excellently. This movie starred Joel Kinnaman, Scott Mescudi, Kid Cudi, Harold Torres, Yoko Hamamura and Catalina Sandino Moreno. The story revolves around a grieving father who lost his only son during a gang war and who is hell bent on taking revenge on the gang members on Christmas Eve.

I totally enjoyed this movie a lot. It was filmed in a unique way. Limited dialogue but I didn't notice until I was almost done with the movie. The plot was well written. It was fully packed with natural action stunts that one would expect from a father and construction worker who is out to avenge his son's death. Revenge was served cold and unexpected. It was savage and brutal. The setting was properly done. The scenes of a grieving father were captured excellently regardless that the main actor lost his voice during the incident that killed his son.

This movie was worth my time, I enjoyed it, it was a delightful treat for me. John Woo and other producers did a wonderful job with this movie. It was convincing, believable and emotional. Also, I want to commend Joel Kinnaman, he acted his part well, and he blended into his character seamlessly.

Will you see this movie and ignore all the negative reviews? Don't go to see this movie with high expectations of Bruce kind of action because the main character in this movie is a father and construction worker, not John Wick or Denzel Washington.
