Silver Screen Weekly - What's Coming Up At The Cinema - From Friday 2 December
Violent Night (15)
David Harbour (Stranger Things, Hellboy, Black Widow) is Santa Claus, only this St. Nick isn’t so jolly, especially when a group of mercenaries (led by John Leguizamo) have taken a family hostage, with a little girl who is on his nice list, urging Santa into action. These baddies will be getting way more than a lump of coal for Christmas too! In this darkly comic action film that comes from some of the makers of John Wick, this film offers season’s beatings aplenty and looks to be a brutal, action-packed and enormously entertaining alternative Christmas cracker! Expect this one to inspire a following in Christmases to come!
