Woo! Kinnaman! Christmas! Lock ‘ load. Lionsgate has launched the first official trailer for Silent Night, a surprise John Woo action movie dropping in theaters this year.
The legendary Chinese action filmmaker is back after his 2017 movie Manhunt with something fresh and fun. With virtually no dialogue throughout the entire film (hence the film’s title), Silent Night is, in a sense, a modern day silent film – mixing elements of A Quiet Place meets Peppermint meets Drive – into one insanely unexpected, immersive experience. Bring on the mayhem. A grieving father enacts his long-awaited revenge against a ruthless gang on Christmas Eve.
Joel Kinnaman stars, joined by Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Mescudi, Harold Torres, Yoko Hamamura, and Vinny O’Brien. Woo, one of the “masters of action”, showcases Kinnaman’s intensely emotional acting chops and deftly balances a gripping core family story, before diving into a whirlwind of guns-a-blazing fight scenes and Fast & Furious-style car chases. Not the only dialogue-free movie this year – No One Will Save You is on Hulu. Looks like it might be crazy good and vengefully satisfying! Check it out.
