First Look at ‘Silent Night’ from Iconic Director John Woo Starring Joel Kinnaman
Hold your breath! The first official trailer for ‘Silent Night’, the surprise action movie from legendary Chinese filmmaker John Woo is here, set to hit the theaters later this year. This adrenaline-packed movie promises to be an immersive cinematic experience with virtually no dialogue, reflecting the film’s title.
‘Silent Night’ is a fresh take on the modern action genre, blending elements from successful flicks like ‘A Quiet Place’, ‘Peppermint’, and ‘Drive’. The film stars Joel Kinnaman, who brings raw emotion and intensity to the screen, alongside an ensemble cast featuring Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Mescudi, Harold Torres, Yoko Hamamura, and Vinny O’Brien.
The storyline navigates through the life of a grieving father seeking revenge against a ruthless gang on Christmas Eve, adding a twist of holiday essence to the narrative. It’s a balancing act between a heart-wrenching family story and breath-taking action sequences amplified by astonishing stunts and fast-paced car chases.
Joel Kinnaman’s character, Godlock, witnesses the tragic death of his young son caught in a gang’s gunfire on Christmas Eve. Godlock, who loses his voice due to an injury, devotes his life to avenging his son’s death. ‘Silent Night’ redefines the action genre with Woo’s signature style of visceral, thrill-a-minute storytelling.
After wooing audiences with films like ‘A Better Tomorrow’, ‘Just Heroes’, ‘The Killer’, ‘Bullet in the Head’, ‘Hard Boiled’, ‘Face/Off’, and many more, director John Woo is back at helm after his 2017 movie ‘Manhunt’. Silent Night is slated for release on December 1st, 2023, promising an action-packed start to the festive month.
