Silent Night Review
John Woo’s Silent Night is an action-packed return to form for the master of on-screen carnage, even if the silent premise wears thin.
The nonstop, action-packed thrill ride stars Joel Kinnaman (“The Killing”, RoboCop, Suicide Squad), with Catalina Sandino Moreno (Barbarians, “The Affair”), and Grammy award-winning musician and actor Scott Mescudi (aka “Kid Cudi”) in a revolutionary piece of filmmaking from legendary director Woo and the producer of John Wick. The gritty revenge tale follows a tormented father (Kinnaman) who witnesses his young son die when caught in a gang’s crossfire on Christmas Eve. While recovering from a wound that costs him his voice, he makes vengeance his life’s mission and embarks on a punishing training regimen in order to avenge his son’s death. Full of Woo’s signature style, Silent Night redefines the action genre with visceral, thrill-a-minute storytelling.
With virtually no dialogue throughout the entire film (hence the film’s title, coupled with a Christmas Eve setting), SILENT NIGHT is, in a sense, a modern day silent film – mixing elements of A Quiet Place meets Peppermint meets Drive – into one insanely unexpected, immersive experience. Woo, the master of action, showcases Kinnaman’s intensely emotional acting chops and deftly balances a gripping core family story, before diving into a whirlwind of guns-a-blazing fight scenes and Fast and Furious-style car chases.
