Easy watching with a few chuckles throughout. I saw someone say that it "feels like a two-hour Family Guy cutaway gag" and I honestly couldn't put it any better than that. There are a few nice action pieces, but after an hour I just found myself wishing it would end. The movie is also kinda strange in that the graphic violence and language scream that this is not for children (as does the rating), yet the movie is very simple, overly predictable, and has a very childish tone and delivery overall. Even the majority of the jokes are very childish... but children are far from the intended audience here. The villains are probably the best example of the childish tone here. Worth watching if you've nothing else to do, but I doubt I'll ever watch it again.

It was a fun movie. Let's combine Home Alone, Die Hard and some random feel good Christmas movie. It just works. Is this going to win a bunch of rewards? No. Will it be watched around Christmas by action movie watchers for years to come? Most definitely If you like crazy action, death and Christmas? Just watch it. I'd watch it again just for the Home Alone scene. You'll know when you see it

I'm starting to like these new takes on Christmas with a violent yet wholesome story. Fatman is another that comes to mind but Violent Night is a tad more action packed

The premise and the first part of the movie was interesting and promising. Even though it was too long, which made the movie itself longer than it should be.
The middle part was kinda okay.
But the third part of the movie ruined it all, at least for me. It's full of banality, cliche and weird fee More

Violent Night is a thrilling and unique take on the holiday action genre. Released on December 2, 2022 and directed by Tommy Wirkola, the film follows a team of mercenaries as they break into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve and take everyone inside hostage. However, they are not prepared More

This shouldn't be my favorite film that I have ever watched. But it is. This film made me love Santa as a character. This film fills the very need for "What if Santa was a badass?"—the shots, the use of music, the actors, the backstory of Santa, the EVERYTHING. I've watched this film twice, and bo More

It would seem psychotic Santa is coming to town this Xmas.

Putting aside the woke nonsense and shallow script, Violent Night is a moderately watchable, darkly comedic action flick, that draws inspiration from 80's style franchise's such as Die Hard and Lethal Weapon.

Its well paced, predict More
