Silent Night (Released 12/1/23)

This movie definitely put the silent in Silent Night. There were maybe 3 pages of actual dialogue and the rest of the script was scenery and actions. The trailer made it seem more like John Wick than what it actually was. It was more like a hybrid of Die Hard and The Punisher movie. It does a lot with no dialogue, but it just didn’t do anything unique. The most unique thing was the fact an average dad went on this rampage rather than a current/former cop/military person. It is an ok movie but would be better enjoyed from the comfort of your couch.
