Silent Night

Silent Night (2023) is the John Woo action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. On Christmas Eve, a stray bullet from a gang shootout kills Brian Godlock's young son, and the wound he takes trying to save the boy robs him of his voice.

For a full year he prepares in silence. He learns to shoot, to drive at the edge of control, to fight dirty. There is almost no dialogue here, so the story rides on looks, training montages and grief that hardens into purpose. By the anniversary of the killing, an ordinary man has become a relentless instrument of payback, hunting the crew that destroyed his family. Joel Kinnaman carries the lead, with rapper Kid Cudi and Catalina Sandino Moreno as the grieving mother.

This is Woo's first Hollywood film in two decades, from the director of Face/Off and Mission: Impossible 2. He builds a nearly wordless picture out of gunfight choreography and one raw feeling: sorrow turned into a weapon. Stream Silent Night (2023) online on iFILM.
