Interview: John Woo and Joel Kinnaman Talk Silent Night

It’s great to have John Woo thrilling audiences once again. In his latest and first American feature in a long while, he stirs up a little revenge. Silent Night tells the story of a father going after gang members who killed his young son. It’s an intense ride, and one with nearly no dialogue. It also features an incredible performance from Joel Kinnaman in the leading role. The film also stars Kid Cudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno. It’s an intense flick, but with Mr. Woo running the show, that’s to be expected.

We recently had the great honor of speaking to John Woo and Joel Kinnaman in person. And yet, having told Mr. Woo what an honor it was, he proved to be wonderfully down-to-Earth. The legend is as terrific to chat with as you could ever hope. John spoke about telling this grounded story, and the challenge of having little to no dialogue involved. As for Mr. Kinnaman, the actor talked about his own challenges and finding the role. As well, he happily talked about working with one of the greatest action filmmakers of all time.

Silent Night is arriving on December 2nd, just in time for an early cinematic Christmas treat. Check out our review here.
