One of the few actually Christmas-themed movies heading to movie theaters in the 2023 holiday season is John Woo's action movie Silent Night. Officially releasing in the US on Friday, December 1, critics have been making their opinions known with their Silent Night reviews.
John Woo is best known for his action movies that he made in Hong Kong like Hard Boiled, The Killer and more before he made the leap to Hollywood and tackled both major franchises in Mission: Impossible 2 and what would become fan-favorite movies like Face/Off. His first movie in six years, Silent Night stars Joel Kinnaman as a father whose son is killed in a drive-by gang shooting on Christmas Eve while he suffers a wound that costs him his voice. Next Christmas, he is out for revenge.
