What do we know about Joel Kinnaman’s unique action movie?

Silent Night was directed by acclaimed Hong Kong filmmaker John Woo, who’s best known for iconic action movies such as A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, Face/Off, and Mission: Impossible 2. In the film, Kinnaman portrays a father who wants to take revenge against the people responsible for his son’s death. The heartbreaking incident also caused him to lose his voice permanently. Because of this, the unique movie has minimal spoken dialogue, as the story is told through Kinnaman’s physical performance.

“A gritty revenge tale of a tormented father who witnesses his young son die when caught in a gang’s 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,” reads the official synopsis.

Woo directed and produced the movie, with Robert Archer Lynn writing the screenplay. The cast also included Kid Cudi as Detective Dennis Vassel, Harold Torres as Playa, Catalina Sandino Moreno as Saya, Yoko Hamamura as Ruiz, Valeria Santaella as Venus, and more. It was produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Christian Mercuri, and Lori Tilkin. Since its debut, the movie has received an approval rating of 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 125 reviews.
