Ho ho ho, what a not jolly Christmas


Spoilers...


























Yikes, this was depressing, they rob a casino on Christmas Eve, killing a bunch of innocent people who won't get to spend Christmas with their families because of a lousy time and a half overtime, and the survivors get to go home and have turkey with their families with nary a tinge of regret and a smile on their face.

We don't get to see the families of the security guards who got killed by shotgun blasts the night before, or the fisherman's families, who also lost their father, grandfather, brother, uncle etc in violent circumstances a few days previously.

Interestingly dead times we live in now with films such as these and Die Hard that show the most horribly violent things happening, using Christmas as part of their plots or as a gimmick, and in this case even playing Christmas carols about Jesus just after a slaughterfest of evil Santas (although Die Hard had a Christmas song at the end).

I'm sure the families that got the blood soaked stolen wads of cash for a Christmas present will put it together to look after the families left behind by greedy psychopathic criminal scumbags.

What a merry Christmas, not.
