#SilentNight is quite literally silent and features next to no dialogue. There are parts where it’s poignant, and spots where it feels admittedly forced. However, John Woo still has an eye for poetic violence & Joel Kinnaman does a stellar job channeling his inner Frank Castle. pic.twitter.com/UEUiZ0oLcg

#SilentNight is a disappointment on all fronts. It features lacklustre action, baffling decision-making & a finale that underwhelms. I wanted to have fun with this & some will, but I was just bored & awaiting the credits most of the time. - Nick pic.twitter.com/c2QbaFVtBR

#SilentNight is a certified BANGER. John Woo kicks it up a notch with Joel Kinnaman delivering a great action performance.

#SilentNight is a modern silent action film that delivers on its simple, yet nifty premise. John Woo's newest movie (first US feature in 20 years) has some of the best straight-up action of the year. Joel Kinnaman is game, with some of his best work to date. A Christmas banger! pic.twitter.com/nJnU9IoEQs

Joel Kinnaman kicks all kinds of ass in John Woo’s SILENT NIGHT, an action spectacle that treats the deep emotional pain of its characters with a seriousness uncharacteristic for the genre. Every hit feels like a punch to the gut because of the high stakes and emotion. A blast! pic.twitter.com/fYwzhWbEdT

SILENT NIGHT wrings as much as it can out of its (mostly) dialogue-free story. John Woo’s style of action remains electrifying as ever, and Joel Kinnaman is more than up to the emotional & physical challenge. A straight-up holiday revenge action film filled with carnage & slow-mo pic.twitter.com/u600BKtz1N

While it doesn't quite reach the mind melting heights of Woo's classics like I hoped, it's still an enjoyable time and a welcome return for the GOD of action. Will likely have little appeal outside of die hard action heads (like myself 🫡).#SilentNight #JohnWoo@keithlovemovies https://t.co/yo4uwHsdd1
