Unfunny Adult Christmas Comedy - Violent Night review by GI
Here you have Die Hard (1988) but instead of cop John McClane we have Santa Claus who takes on a team of mercenaries. To be fair Die Hard is referenced unapologetically throughout in this adult comedy that flounders after awhile leaving an occasionally silly, overly violent story that becomes more interested in bloody fights than good jokes. In short a dysfunctional, wealthy family are gathered on Christmas Eve when a bunch of baddies arrives to steal money hidden in the family's vault. Unfortunately for them a very grumpy and disheartened Santa (David Harbour) happens to be in the middle of delivering presents and decides to intervene. There's a great Home Alone (1990) episode and if you remember all the bad Santa clichés from other films you'll find them here too. It's an average film, with a half baked plot and a mostly unfunny script indeed when you break it down Santa's presence in the story is pointless as the part he plays could be any ex-soldier type, it could've been John Wick on a visit for example!

Origins film please - Violent Night review by ARich
Xmas film in June. Why not.
Some great fight scenes and the gore ratio was decent. None of this insinuated, camera flicks to another scene when the final blow hits, violence.
Brushed upon the viking mythology to santa.
Origins story please.
Missus fell asleep, but I enjoyed it. 4??
