Silent Night (2023)
Joel Kinnaman (The Suicide Squad, For All Mankind) stars in Silent Night as a father who witnesses his young son die in gang battle crossfire on Christmas Eve. While recovering from a wound that costs him his voice, he makes vengeance his life’s mission and embarks on a punishing training regimen to avenge his son’s death.
From legendary action director John Woo (Face/Off, Mission: Impossible 2) and John Wick producer Basil Iwanyk, Silent Night was hailed by RogerEbert.com as “one of the most deliriously cinematic movies of the year.”
The cast includes Critics Choice nominee and Grammy winner Scott Mescudi, aka Kid Cudi (Don’t Look Up, X), and Oscar nominee Catalina Sandino Moreno (From, The Affair, and the upcoming John Wick spinoff, Ballerina).
