Violent Night
あらすじ
クリスマスイブ、富豪スノーマン一家の豪華な邸宅に、日常警備と偽って冷酷な傭兵集団が侵入する。狡猾で冷酷なエドガー率いるチームは、たちまち家全体を制圧し、家族全員を人質にする。しかし、彼らの邪悪な計画は、予想外の、そして手ごわい相手、サンタクロースによってすぐに打ち砕かれる。 デビッド・ハーバー演じる陽気な妖精サンタは、何年もスノーマン一家を密かに見守っており、この愛情深い家族のクリスマスを傭兵たちに台無しにさせるつもりはない。夜が更けるにつれ、サンタは一晩で世界中にプレゼントを届けるために何世紀もかけて磨き上げた独自のスキルを駆使して、傭兵たちを一人ずつ倒していく。 暴力がエスカレートするにつれ、サンタは自身の疑念や恐れに立ち向かい、クリスマスの精神を再燃させ、最も心の固い人々でさえ贖われる可能性があることを思い出させなければならない。一方、スノーマン一家は、激しい戦いに巻き込まれ、自身の個人的な悪魔と和解しようとしながら、何とか一晩を生き延びようと奮闘する。 『Violent Night』は、機知に富んだユーモア、仰天なアクションシーン、そして健全なクリスマスの魔法が融合したホリデーアクション映画だ。ジャンルの巧妙な融合とスターが勢ぞろいしたキャストにより、この映画は間違いなくあらゆる年齢層の観客に喜びと興奮をもたらすだろう。

Just waiting to see it tonight! It's a shame such an interesting idea wasn't turned into a tight, exhilarating ride under 90 minutes. Why drag it out and make it feel so unnecessarily long and dumb?

I can never get enough of "Home Alone" style plots. The way families resolve their issues and overcome obstacles to save the holiday is truly in the Christmas spirit, and David Harbour makes the best Santa Claus.

Like an adult film in terms of graphic violence, but with the intelligence of a children's movie.

Okay, here's the translation: It was a rainy night in Vancouver. We'd just finished some Thai noodles when he asked if I wanted to catch a movie; he had some points to use. I said it depended on how far the cinema was and what was playing. Turns out, the movie theater was just 200 meters away. And that’s how we ended up seeing this. It was a total blast. I've watched Love Actually every Christmas for the past four years, but I think Violent Night is my Christmas movie this year. Merry Christmas, everyone!

A brutal and darkly comedic take on the traditional Christmas tale, Violent Night brings a fresh twist to the holiday genre. Santa Claus, played by David Harbour, delivers a gruesome present to the team of mercenaries who dares to ruin Christmas. With plenty of action and witty humour, this film is a delight for those who enjoy a dash of violence with their eggnog. Harbour's performance as a vengeful Santa is both terrifying and charismatic, making for a wild and unforgettable ride.

"A dark and twisted holiday thriller, Violent Night brings a new level of intensity to the traditional Christmas movie. When a group of mercenaries takes a wealthy family hostage on Christmas Eve, they are met with an unexpected and formidable opponent - a rough-around-the-edges Santa Claus. With plenty of action, suspense, and dark humor, this film is a wild and entertaining ride from start to finish, redefining the jolly old elf for a new generation."
