Rating: Watch it / [It depends] / Skip it
- This takes the cheesy holiday happy ending movie and makes it much darker. It blends a cop abusing his power with comically inept cops. It feels like two movies smashed together, creating a strange tone that I couldn't figure out. At times I thought this was trying to sneak in a message, but ultimately it doesn't. While it has a predictable ending, like many holiday movies do, the body count distinguishes this from the genre. It could almost be a character study, but the 'revelation' isn't that big and too many characters are there to only serve the plot. This has a lot of the pieces, but they don't quite fit.
