Silent Night disappoints with a derivative plot and monotonous character development, failing to deliver on its potential for action cinema.
The film's failure to fully commit to its "silent" gimmick and lack of creativity in incorporating the Christmas theme are major letdowns.
The movie's retrograde depictions of race, gender, and policing institutions cater to an outdated audience, making it uninteresting for action movie enthusiasts.
