Violent Night (2022)
To hell with “all is calm.” Just in time for a butt-kicking Christmas in July comes Violent Night, a coal-dark holiday action-comedy starring Critics Choice Award winner and Emmy nominee David Harbour (Stranger Things, Black Widow) as a Nick who’s no saint when a crew of ambitious hostage takers make his naughty list on Christmas Eve.
London Evening Standard says, “David Harbour’s slick new action movie combines slaughter and sleighbells. It’s brazenly amoral and outrageously sappy,” and, they say,“ Thanks to the Stranger Things star, it’s also a blast.” Observer (UK) says, “Harbour’s jaded charisma is the film’s secret weapon (that and a massive hammer).”
Helmed by Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) and produced by the makers of John Wick, Bullet Train and Deadpool 2, Violent Night also stars Emmy winner John Leguizamo (The Menu, John Wick), Emmy nominee Beverly D’Angelo (True Lies, American History X), Teen Choice winner Cam Gigandet (Twilight), and Edi Patterson (Judy Gemstone in The Righteous Gemstones).
