A botched Christmas Eve robbery leads down a destructive path for a police officer reconnecting with his estranged mother, a coming-apart-at-the-seams amateur photographer, his vindictive and murderous fiancee, her secret lover and a strung-out mall Santa...as they all converge in one explosive and deadly night.

Reviews
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
imdb-2920 Too many actors plod their way through this interminable wannabe ripoff of Magnolia. I don't blame them--the acting was adequate (aside from the imaginary friend, who was obviously getting paid by the expression), but every scene dragged in this drama wankfest of clichés.The entire film could have been cut by 25% without losing anything. Did the actors not sense the lack of chemistry of the scenes? Was the director playing video games on his phone while the dialog clomped along to the inevitable?The "surprise" endings were as implausible as a homicide detective bothering to pull over a speeder or a client threatening a hitman to negotiate a price. Ugh.
nillsley Overall this was a really fun movie with solid performances. The storyline is told in a non-linear fashion, so it plays like a puzzle that we're putting together as we go. Every time a new character is introduced or we see a new storyline, we're given a new piece of the puzzle, and it's really fun to see how things play out.Indie movies are always hit or miss, especially ones that go straight to video, but this really was a solid watch. Nice performances, solid writing, great direction, and you can just tell the actors and crew are having fun making the film. This might be a small film, but it's a damn good one.
mariusar Once again, the blatant shill reviews are in force on IMDb. Unlike what the obviously questionable matthewsstone user would have you believe, this film is the farthest thing from "amazing".I don't know what's more pathetic - what the so-called filmmakers were trying to do here or the ludicrous post from the aforementioned matthewsstone.Actually, I do. At least the filmmakers were probably trying to make something decent and I usually try to avoid slagging honest, hard-working cinema efforts.Sadly, this film is simply a mess. It's a poor man's Memento copy in terms of the completely non-linear storytelling all while mashed up with every single evening, multi-POV film ever made. Yes, the results are as unspectacular as you would imagine.Insipid writing. Blatantly unbelievable and hackneyed characters.I like Adrian Paul. But let's just say that he will likely want to purge the bad taste in his mouth left from this film ASAP.Shill reviewer matthewsstone claims he likes "suspense and action" and that "life is too short for boring movies". If this movie is his shill reviewer idea of an exciting, suspenseful action film, he needs to sell his TV and spend all of his remaining years watching paint dry.+1 from my minimum grade of 3 for seeing Adrian Paul on screen again, though his character was awful.
matthewsstone-34320 Just simply said, a great story with a great plot. The acting is amazing! A film to watch over and over! If you get a chance, you should check this movie out. What are you waiting for? Buy this movie on Amazon or iTunes Tell all your friends! Sit by the fire, drink a glass of.... and sit back and enjoy the ride! Life is to short for boring movies. I want suspense and action.
