Well you're wrong. Because in 2022 we get Violent Night - an amazing, very original, and thoroughly weird spin on action comedies, and it's set at Christmas time. What more could you ask for? The casting in this movie is great - there's no better actor to portray a drunken, ass kicking Santa Claus than David Harbor. Then you have John Leguizamo as the movie's main trash talking antagonist. Think of this movie as a mix between Home Alone, Die Hard, and The Santa Claus, with John Wick style action and Deadpool's style of self depricating and fourth wall breaking sense of humor.
It's not a perfect action movie but it's some of the most fun you'll have at the movies this year. It's one of the best Christmas movies since Bad Santa, and it's one of the best action comedies since Deadpool. Don't let it fool you that it's a Christmas movie - it's also a movie that you can watch year around and it's great no matter what time of year it is. Ignore the excessive violence and just have a good time watching, and the less you know going in the better. That being said, Violent Night is one of the most fun movies of the year, Christmas time or not!
