“Silent Night” (** out of four) was grindingly familiar and formulaic pulp-revenge thriller about a grieving father (Joel Kinnaman) who is left silent and is family murdered by a gang of ruthless thugs and trains brutally over the years to carry out his long-vowed oath of vengeance on Christmas Eve. A return for director John Woo to the kind of violent vengeance thriller he used to make to perfection but this one is hamstrung by its humdrum story. Film deserves credit for its chutzpah of having almost no dialogue but it gets undeniably monotonous after a while.
