John Woo’s Silent Night is, in its content and form, about fulfilling a set goal through limited means. In the case of the former, this ethos is personified by Brian Godluck (Joel Kinnaman), who tries to make due with whatever he can get his hands on in order to seek bloody retribution for the death of his son amid gang crossfire. The latter, meanwhile, is rendered through the film’s near-total absence of dialogue, with Woo relying on the power of his images to convey what the spoken word is usually tasked with in commercial cinema.

As Brian lost his voice due to a throat injury sustained during the shooting that claimed his son’s life, the film’s story beats are largely articulated through visual means. One of Silent Night’s most impressive feats is the sound design that gives the film’s world a lived-in quality though an emphasis on small details,...

Woo! Kinnaman! Christmas! Lock ' load. Lionsgate has launched the first official trailer for Silent Night, a surprise John Woo action movie dropping in theaters this year. The legendary Chinese action filmmaker is back after his 2017 movie Manhunt with something fresh and fun. With virtually no dialogue throughout the entire film (hence the film's title), Silent Night is, in a sense, a modern day silent film – mixing elements of A Quiet Place meets Peppermint meets Drive - into one insanely unexpected, immersive experience. Bring on the mayhem. A grieving father enacts his long-awaited revenge against a ruthless gang on Christmas Eve. Joel Kinnaman stars, joined by Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Mescudi, Harold Torres, Yoko Hamamura, and Vinny O'Brien. Woo, one of the "masters of action", showcases Kinnaman's intensely emotional acting chops and deftly balances a gripping core family story, before diving into a whirlwind of guns-a-blazing fight scenes and Fast & Furious-style car chases.

Jason Momoa promises that Aquaman 2 is going to be "off the hook" in a new training video. Momoa, along with DC fans, is pretty excited to begin work on the sequel. With that being said, we're still over two years away from the movie hitting theaters. It's far too early to start talking about production, but training appears to be a big part of Momoa's pre-pre-production routine. Even though the videos are quick, it's nice to see Momoa's enthusiasm for the upcoming project.

While claiming big things for Aquaman 2, Jason Momoa also took some time to introduce his stunt team and trainer. Yoko Hamamura, owner of Point of Impact Mma, is featured in the video, along with what seems like an inside joke between the two. The second video shows off stuntmen Niko Nedyalkov, Kim Fardy, and Jeremy Marinas. Momoa and his crew are clearly all having a good time in the videos,...
