Just when you think there will not be another movie as great as John Wick, #Lionsgate does it again. A thriller Christmas movie that you can add to your collection (#DIEHARD) known as, #SilentNight.
Silent Night is an incredible film. Especially if you lost someone close to you. A film directed by master action director John Woo. A 7 year old is riding a new Christmas present bike his dad bought him when he gets caught between a gang war and the kid is hit by a bullet through the heart. He dies in his parents arms. Many of the girls in the audience were wiping tears off their cheeks at this scene as it was so effective at bringing you into the tragedy. Two other scenes that stood out were the gothic dance between the villain and his drugged up bride to the tune of heavy metal. He was dressed in a red Christmas robe that was very striking for the scene.
The final scene brought back the tears on the cheeks as you were taken to the son's grave and found that the last act of the dad was to gift his son with a model train set.
Sachiko is not much of an action movie fan but I could see that this film brought her in. All done without dialogue as the main character could not speak due to being shot in the throat and surviving.
Only a master film director who loves making movies, like #JohnWoo, could have produced such an engaging film like #SilentNight. The entire story told without dialogue. This movie is heart breaking so best bring something to wipe away the tears if you are sensitive. 1000/10 "go sees"
