Silent Night (2023)
4/10
In the age of John Wick, John Woo is just tired and choice now.

Gace this a look as love Joel and thought good to see John Woo back.......... Love a good revenge film and this is John Woo so has half a chance of being great action.

Sadly........ Enjoyed about half hour of this film. The last half hour.

In the age of John Wick, John Woo just doesn't hold up anymore. There were a couple of two handed gun slow mo moments that almost captured the old magic of a John Woo film from yesteryear but all seems tame up to Wick now.

The storyline was massively generic and lazy seen it a million times and better. Overly sentimental and drawn out at times to the point of cringe. (the ending! 🙄) took forever to really get anywhere.

The main villain is just a cliche. Most of the stunts and action are surprisingly poorly executed and unrealistic.

Why was the villain slow dancing with his druggy GF whilst all his men were getting slaughtered!? Made zero sense. 🤷 Poor man's Punisher.

Very disappointed.
