Woo emphasized the importance of making the film's action scenes feel authentic in an interview with MovieWeb, particularly by emphasizing long take sequences rather than fast cuts. "It's not a cheat. I didn't rely on shaky cameras or fast cuts. Audiences are paying for the action and fighting," he explained. "In addition, Joel really embodies his character, fighting with a deep sense of anger and hatred, driven by the loss of his son. And this time, I departed from my use of pigeons."
Online reviews for the movie have been generally positive, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 77%. However, there have been some mixed opinions. The San Francisco Chronicle stated that while the movie may not reach the same level of audacity as some of director John Woo's previous work, fans will find it worth the wait.
Is Silent Night on Netflix?
On the other hand, IndieWire also stated: "The films of John Woo are not suited for half-hearted efforts. With that in mind, the best thing I can say about his most recent movie is that its lowest points bear no resemblance to the typical John Woo style."
Silent Night is currently not available on Netflix. The streaming platform for Silent Night in the US is uncertain, it is distributed by Lionsgate so it may be available on STARZ, similar to the release of John Wick: Chapter 4.
In the UK, John Wick 4 dropped on Prime Video, so with the help of a VPN you may have multiple options.
