It’s time for David Harbour to take a turn portraying Father Christmas. Known for other fatherly roles like Jim Hopper in Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and Alexei in Marvel’s “Black Widow,” the actor takes on a Christmas night crime in addition to Santa’s yearly duty of delivering presents across the entire planet in one night in the R-rated actioner “Violent Night.” John Leguizamo plays the bad guy — Scrooge.
From director Tommy Wirkola, the film has a runtime of 1 hour and 52 minutes. Within that time frame, David Harbour’s Santa Claus embarks on his mission to drop off presents, when John Leguizamo and his cronies interrupt the regularly scheduled program by attempting a robbery of a very rich family.
Fans of David Harbour and or John Leguizamo may be wondering how to watch “Violent Night,” and we have the details.

If "Nobody," "Kate," and this year's "Bullet Train" seem to share a distinctive vibe, that's no accident. Those three features were made under the banner of production company 87north, an offshoot of 87eleven Productions, the company that brought us the glorious "John Wick" franchise. Founded by producer Kelly McCormick and director David Leitch, 87north is rapidly building a reputation for itself in cinema as the heir to the mid(-ish) budget action movie of yore, picking up the torch from Cannon in the '80s and Carolco in the '90s.
Their latest effort, "Violent Night," ups the ante on the Christmas action movie by making its central character the most Christmasy person possible: Santa Claus. Shot in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada during a cold winter, "Violent Night" combines practical locations, sets, stunt work, special effects, and an all-star ensemble cast into a super fun package that looks pricier than it actually was.

Violent Night is being compared to Die Hard and centers on Harbour’s Santa Claus rescuing a family that’s been taken hostage, with John Leguizamo playing the villain.
In the film, “A team of elite mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage. But the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (Harbour) is on the grounds,...
