One of the greatest and most iconic action directors of all time returns to make his first American film in decades and it looks phenomenal. Joel Kinnerman is in the lead role and the plot is straight forward. The beauty of this film isn't just based on it's emotions and visuals though. The most interesting premise about it is that there is absolutely no dialogue at any point in the film.

The first trailer for John Woo’s ‘SILENT NIGHT’ has been released.

Last year Violent Night became one of my favourite Christmas films of all time. And now Silent night has joined that list. OK technically it falls into the category of films set during Christmas, rather than ones that are about Christmas. But it's still a Christmas film in my books. Woo is the director that other directors wish they were as good as. His use of tone, pace and framing take us on this brutally emotional journey of revenge. Kinnerman's task of delivering a performance with no dialogue at all, is no easy feat and he passes the test with flying colours, due to his brilliant use of just his facial expressions and body language. This film is phenomenal.
