Silent Night is a 2023 American vigilante action-thriller film directed by John Woo, who also produced the film with Christian Mercuri, Lori Tilkin deFelice, Basil Iwanyk, and Erica Lee. The film was written by Robert Archer Lynn and stars Joel Kinnaman, with Scott Mescudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno in supporting roles.
Silent Night was Woo’s first American feature directorial effort since 2003’s Paycheck. The film, which features minimal spokes dialogue, follows an aggrieved father avenging the death of his son, who was killed by local gang members in a drive-by shooting on Christmas Eve.
Filming took place in Mexico City from April to May 2022. The film was released by Lionsgate in the United States on December 1, 2023 to mixed reviews from critics and only grossed $11 million worldwide.
