From legendary director John Woo, who brought us Face Off and Mission: Impossible II, comes this gritty revenge tale of a tormented father, played by Joel Kinnaman. He witnesses his young son die when caught in a gang’s crossfire on Christmas Eve.
He dedicates himself to avenging his son’s death while recovering from a wound that leaves him voiceless.

With Woo’s signature style, Silent Night redefines the action genre with thrilling storytelling.
Scott Mescudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno also star.
Based on a book by Börge Hellström and directed by Andrea Di Stefano, The Informer follows an honorably discharged Special Ops soldier, played by Joel Kinnaman. Pete Koslow’s world turns upside-down when he is jailed after a fight to protect his wife, played by Ana de Armas.
He’s given a chance for early release by becoming an informant for the FBI agents, played by Rosamund Pike and Clive Owen. He uses his covert skills in an operation to take down The General. I believe, played by Sam Spruell. He is the most powerful crime boss in New York.
An FBI sting meant to finally earn Koslow his freedom results in the death of an undercover NYPD cop. Koslow was caught in the crossfire between the mob and the FBI.
The General insists Koslow takes the heat and sends him back to prison to spearhead a drug operation from inside, and the FBI affirms that going back to jail to do The General’s bidding is the only way for Koslow to keep his deal with them alive.
Caught in a world of impossible choices, Koslow must return to prison, where he formulates a plan to escape the clutches of three of New York City’s most influential organizations –the mob, the NYPD and the FBI –to save himself and his family.
Di Stefano is best known as an actor. He also directed Escobar: Paradise Lost and Last Night of Amore.
