A holiday action film starring David Harbour as a bad Santa tops the DVD releases for the week of Jan. 24.
"Violent Night": St. Nick turns to violence in order to defend a little girl and her family when they are targeted by a gang of criminals on Christmas Eve. Also starring John Leguizamo and Beverly D'Angelo.
"This is a star vehicle, or rather, a sleigh, built specifically for Harbour, who gamely commits to the performance, and is probably the only actor currently working in Hollywood who could pull this off," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "The result is amusing enough, but it’s as cinematically substantive as a sugar cookie."
