This was a great movie. People are just going to hate it because of Tim Allen's political point of view. this is one of his best performances. Great holiday movie for the adults.

It starts and ends good but it gets slow for awhile and most of the movie takes place in the small liquor mart. The ending is great and its a nice mix of genres.

A gem of a nugget of a movie. Caught it on Netflix over the weekend and it kept me glued and interested to the TV the entire time. Excellent character development and fantastic, twist plot with tragic hero in the end. Go watch it.

Rather than spreading Christmas cheer when he pulls into town looking for the father he never met, Eric Roth (Luke Grimes) inadvertently causes all hell to break loose when a local psychotic cop decides to make him the target of his drunken rage. Bullets fly and a lot of alcohol is consumed. It's certainly a lot darker than your average Christmas movie. Yet, it's not entirely devoid of warmth, humanity, and even a few seasonal clichés. It's even quite humorous.

There's a single mother with a child who never speaks that ultimately ends up falling for the young drifter, to help fill in the checklist for what's almost mandatory for the more traditional variety of these movies. It's pretty well made despite a low budget and Hallmark quality production. The really surprising part is just how violent it is. The performances in this movie are surprisingly good. A talented cast of familiar names like Tim Allen, Vincent D'Onofrio, and a few others make things a little more enjoyable than they otherwise would have been. It's the situation itself that makes things fun though. Such an odd, but ultimately worthwhile choice to make for an original feeling Christmas flick.
