Joel Kinnaman is quiet and deadly in Silent Night. Directed by the legendary John Woo, the revenge thriller opens on Christmas Eve, with Kinnaman’s character, Brian Godluck, giving frenzied chase on foot to some hoodlums in cars. Cornered and shot in the throat, Brian loses the ability to speak.As it turns out, Brian is out for blood. A loving husband and father, his young son was accidentally killed in the crossfire of a shootout between rival gangs. Consumed by grief, Brian becomes obsessed with exacting some lethal payback on those responsible for his loss. A note on his calendar sums up his mandate: “Kill them all.” Intense and violent retaliation ensues as guns come out blazing, brutal hand-to-hand combat breaks bones, and blood spills. Kinnaman recently spoke with CBR about John Woo, taking a risk on a dialogue-free project, non-stop action, and his time working in the DCU.Joel Kinnaman: Well, the core thing was to get John Woo on board to direct it. [He is] the master of the camera and the OG master of the action genre. He was able to make the setup and the family tragedy incredibly cinematic. His style of filmmaking really got to the bottom of the emotion and drew it out. At the same time, the movie is very much a high-octane, fast-paced action film. There are very few better than Mr. Woo.
