Silent Night (2023) - Muted Action

Have American movie goers forgotten the legacy of John Woo? Why have producers thought that Joel Kinnaman is a movie star? Can action movies be experimental? Is "Die Hard" the only badass Christmas movie? Audiences seemed like they were not ready to ask these questions. Fearing that the feature may not get a chance to become a new holiday classic, CatBusRuss went and checked out "Silent Night" after its opening weekend. It is Woo's cinematic return to Western cinema after 20 years and a feature that takes its title literally. Can a movie only have a soundtrack of gun shots, detonations, and tires squealing? How do you offer up one liners?
