Silent Night, whilst lacking the typical bombastic stylings of John Woo, still packs a punch and is a better than average actioner.
Its a bit of a slow burn as we work through a Rockyesque training program but as the movie progresses then so does the action.
Joel Kinnaman is the entire film and he is awesome. Usually actors come in second to Woo's theatrics however rarely, such as Face/Off or here in Silent Night, the actor's performances overpower him.
Not a film for all, it gets pretty punchy at times so the squemish will struggle, yet the film would lose any validity if it were to take a softer approach :)
