Silent Night is a 2023 holiday action movie written by Robert Archer Lynn and directed by John Woo in his first American film since Paycheck twenty years prior. It stars Joel Kinnaman, Scott Mescudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno.Kinnaman stars as Brian Godlock, a father whose life is shattered when a Gangland Drive-By shooting takes his voice… and his son's life. Enraged, he vows vengeance upon his attackers and sets forth to kill them all on Christmas Eve. The film is almost dialogue free, due to the father's injury - hence the title - and was released in theaters December 1, 2023.Previews: Trailer | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
Silent Night (2023) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Godlock is depicted as having completely lost his voice due to his throat injury, but for some reason he's still able to vocalize grunts and wails at various points in the film. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Leaning heavily towards bitter. Godlock gets his revenge, at the cost of his life and his marriage and there's little to suggest the other gangs shown in the movie won't simply take over the business of the one he eliminated. | |

Deconstruction | |
Silent Night (2023) / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: The movie analyzes what it would be like for an ordinary guy who teaches himself to do action tropes. Fittingly, his first attack on the gang—which includes cool action moves like him tricking an enemy gangster into running into a forklift such that the forklift's prongs decapitate the gangster—ends with Playa shooting him in the neck and permanently muting him. His attempt to pull off an Enemy Civil War gambit by starting a gang war does get two gangs shooting at each other, but also kills some innocent policemen. Every time he pulls off an action stunt he pays for it in some way, and in the end, he dies after killing Playa. His letter to Saya also explains how he already considered that he might not make it that far, but had nothing else left to lose. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Godlock rarely even attempts to use cover. A good chunk of the gunfight has him simply driving in circles in the middle of a gunfight and never getting hit. When invading Playas compound, he's frequently alerted to new enemies when they shoot and miss him. | |

Undignified Death: Rather than getting a spectacularly gory or flashy demise, Playa is instead slowly strangled to death by Godlock, with plenty of time to see and feel his illusions of power and invincibility completely dissolve as Godlock crushes the life out of him. He finally dies with a look of primal terror frozen on his face. | |

Silent Night (2023) / int_c3585f4a | comment |
Boom, Headshot!: Some instances of this, but a special mention must go to the death of Ruiz. Basically, once he and Godlock engage in a melee fight with empty rifles and carbines, the latter gets wise and load one of them when he is caught in a chokehold, managing to blow a hole in the former's head and send blood flying everywhere. This crosses over into Blood from the Mouth, since Godlock shot Ruiz through the chin. | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Even though she's been shooting at them both with a machine pistol, Godlock hesitates to shoot Venus once he has the drop on her, giving her the opportunity to pull a backup weapon and critically wound both him and Det. Vassel. He quickly comes to his senses after that and puts a bullet in her brain. | |
