“Silent Night” (** out of four) was grim gangster melodrama about a recently released British hitman (Bradley Taylor) trying to go straight for the sake of his daughter but gets sucked back into the vicious criminal underworld by his former cell-mate (Cary Crankson) who talks him into doing one final job which naturally backfires in multiple ways putting him at a crossroads about what to do next. Holds your attention for a while with its rapid-fire hard-boiled dialogue and stylish filmmaking but never rises above the routine mire. Plays like a Guy Ritchie melodrama (“Lock, Stock, And 2 Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch” in particular) without its pizazz and humor.
