The trailer of this movie is wacky. Santa Claus kicking ass and taking names. Okay. I can get with that. I wanted to have a movie that entertained me without much thought. It mostly succeeded.
It's Christmas Day. Santa Claus (Harbour) is cynical, boozy Saint Nick that has to deliver toys to ungrateful kids. One particular family, The Lightstones needs their help when their compound is invaded by Scrooge (Leguizamo) and his henchmen to steal money from a secret vault.
I thought that the movie was going to be like Bad Santa. It has some elements with that shitty Mel Gibson Santa movie. Wacky, cuckoo shit.
Was the action good? Yes for the most part. It was the middle of the movie when everything grinds to a halt to have a conversation between Santa and a little girl, Trudy (Brady). The motivations for the some of the characters were weird.
It's a fun time. Nothing spectacular with it.
Rating: 6/10
