Silent Night (out Dec 7) is a John Woo action flick about an ordinary parent who turns into a vicious vigilante following a tragic event. The fight sequences ain't too bad but the film's big novelty (no dialogue) wears thin quickly. There are only so many facial expressions in star Joel Kinnaman's repertoire. Grade: B-.
