“Dashing Through The Snow” (*1/2 out of four) was a clumsy holiday action comedy about a determined U.S. marshal (Scottie Thompson) who locates and then has to protect a pregnant fugitive (Gillian White) who she bonds with from a hitman (David Koechner) in a Santa Claus outfit and from her corrupt deputy director (Isaiah Washington). The kind of movie that the Coen Bros. and Tarantino could have done- and would have done better- in the 90’s but it feels stale and tame now. A few scattered chuckles are near the end but by that point you’ll probably be “dashing” towards the exit door.
