Violent Night - Santa is back and He is kicking ass.

Well, we've already had several slasher movies where a psycho dressed as a Santa killing people and a slasher comedy where the actual Santa, who is the son of Satan kills people (Santa Slay). Now we'll an action comedy where the real Santa, most likely not a demon, is just killing home invaders.

Edit: I just realized this is basically the "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" response in movie form. Bank robbers hold a group of people hostage? Check. A lone hero against a number of adversaries? Check. Takes place on Christmas Eve? Check.

Normally, I would probably enjoy this, seems like a dumb movie to entertain yourself for 100 minutes.
However, given how anti-Christian the recent Christmas shit from Hollywood is and David Harbor being a raging leftie lunatic, I can't get excited, especially since we just got a preachy homo-movie.

I want pure escapism, I don't want angry conservatives and homophobe Trump voters in the movie but something tells me I'll be getting them.
That something is the opening with the black woman and her black child but the dad isn't black, such a fucking virtue signal, then we see people load their guns and they're all crackers.
We get Leguizamo as a villain but he's white enough, he played an Italian once.

There are no lefite jokes in the trailer but I think that's deliberate, they know how horrible of a flop Santa Inc. was because of the trailer, they're adapting.
 
I watched about half of the trailer and I can tell you that for "tough Santa" movies, it's not going to be a patch on Mel Gibson in Fatman.

I'm not even sure if that film is a comedy by most people's definitions. It's just a writer sat down and asked himself "what if Santa was Mel Gibson".

Great film and it doesn't make Santa an asshole or a psychopath to do it. Most of the film isn't that violent. It genuinely keeps up a mostly moral tone and I quite like its message.

Anyway, nobody's heard of it and it's quite good. Check out Fatman instead.
 
Watched this one earlier tonight, I ended up liking it. Decent mix of wholesome moments and the action was okay, not like John Wick or Nobody level with choreography. Surprisingly I didn't notice anything that stood out too much as far as woke shit. I'd give it about a 7/10 maybe 7.5.
 
Saw it almost a week ago, It was a fun movie. The movie feels almost like an spiritual sequel to Fatman in a way.
Saw it last week too and quite enjoyed it. Loved the Home Alone traps scene. Also, boy did John Leguizamo get fucked up at the end of the film. Did not expect that at all
The Home Alone trap scene alone was worth the price for admission. It was a lot more funnier then it had any right to be.
