It goes without saying John Woo is one of the most intriguing action directors in Hollywood. After becoming famous for action movies in Asia, Woo carved out a name for himself with a myriad of movies in the Western hemisphere. As his career progressed, he would collaborate with the likes of Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, John Travolta, Jean-Claude Van Damme and, of course, Nicolas Cage, in the 1990s. Woo’s movies quickly became considered staples of the genre during that period.Whether it be Hard Target, Broken Arrow, or Mission: Impossible 2, Woo had an emblematic and very clearly-defined style. To this day, he is considered an icon by many new directors, and a major influence on films such as the John Wick franchise. Woo is back in 2023 with his first American foray since 2003’s Payback, detailing the story of Joel Kinnaman’s Brian in Silent Night. This film finds Brian embarking on a revenge mission after a family tragedy on Christmas Eve during a gang war. Thus, Woo once more proves why he’s a visionary when it comes to action, unleashing a slew of gory, squeamish kills.He is shot in the neck and chest in a scene that is quite hard to stomach. Thankfully, Woo speeds up the sequence, but it has that harrowing energy that reminds viewers of the slew of gun violence plaguing North America, whether it’s on the streets or at schools. As the parents cradle the lifeless child, Brian begins his journey — one that eventually disconnects him from Saya and drives her away, hating how he gets consumed by vengeance.
