Tired of those sickly Christmas films where everything is wonderful? Then this movie is for you! Starring Kevin Spacey and Denis Leary, the plot centres around a thief, Gus (Denis Leary) who takes a warring couple, Lloyd and Caroline (Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis) hostage. The movie begins with Lloyd and Caroline at marriage guidance, bickering, bringing up old arguments and asking the counsellor who is right. After they leave they are taking hostage by Gus, taken back to their house and tied up while he waits for his alcoholic partner to get transport for him. Despite the presence of Gus and his gun, they continue to argue the entire time, which irritates him. Because this is set on Christmas Eve, Lloyd's family turn up. The mother and sister-in-law are completely awful, which winds Gus up more. The Christmas Eve meal, which has a unique theme, is hysterically funny. All of the main characters are wonderfully acted, particularly by Spacey and Leary. Watch this movie!
