When Santa is abandoned by his team of eight reindeers, he has little choice but to fight. I enjoyed the script. The plot comes together as it weaves in satire and pokes fun at Christmas classics.
While there was a short film adaptation of Joe R. The key here, regardless of all the guts, gore, and off color jokes, is that the film never loses a sense of innocence and the magic and wonder of Christmas and the Santa Claus myth.
Great cast! David Harbour creates this contemporary and complex Kris Kringle. There are moments when he channels John McClane, but this Kringle has a darker past and a relationship with a weapon of choice. He sells the hell out of the character and it makes the film a sheer delight to watch.
John Leguizamo is such a versatile actor and creates an outstanding villain. She brings honesty and innocence to her performance that is marvelous to watch. She presents a contemporary kid that still believes in the magic of the holiday, yet she has this mischievous edge that is believable.
There is enough blood and gore for the avid genre fan or gamer. There are some nicely edited and choreographed fight sequences that are enhanced by the score or holiday music choices.
