Fatman Movie Review & Comments

[Casimir Harlow]

Gibson's edgy twist on Santa steps one bloody foot too far for left-field family entertainment at Christmas, but also treads too gently when it should really embrace its wacky dark fairytale whims.

I'm really looking forward to this because I am a huge Walton Goggins fan. Plus a Gibson fan naturally.

I admittedly didn't expect much though, so I'll take your 6 on this one Cas

Nice premise. Good actors. Really poorly executed story.
It was like receiving a piece of coal for Xmas.

 

[Kingchin]

Guess I'll just watch some other better Christmas films for Christmas

 

[Evinger]

Thanks for the Review, Cas. After your Review, I'll definitely wait for it to be on Prime!

I watched this at the weekend. The whole family enjoyed it. Certainly not a normal xmas movie. Walton Goggins and Gibson were both great in it. 7/10 for me.

 

[Jenz]

7/10 for me, black comedy, tongue firmly in cheek and Goggins excellent. This is FAR superior to the travesty that is 4/10 Train to Busan Peninsula.

Mel Gibson is a treasure. I'll watch anything he does...

 

[Rambo John J]

I enjoyed it. The tone's of it's all over the place but I still liked it.
Pretty big body count for a Santa flick

I thought this way really good for what it was, nobody was expecting a multiple Oscar winning masterpiece.

8.5/10

A lovely horrible anti-Semitic verbally abusive treasure.

A lovely horrible anti-Semitic verbally abusive treasure.

Bit of a cheap shot, but kind of anticipated. A very repentant guy too as it happens.

Plus, first and foremost, in this context, an extremely talented actor/director.

You can like someone's artistic output and still accept they're a pretty awful human being.

I still listen to Morrissey.

@Casimir Harlow , you doubled my score for it mate!

Was really looking forward to watching it and when I did, was so disappointed. To me. it felt like they couldn't make up their minds which direction to take the film? And it suffered for it.

Big fan of Goggins since The Shield days, and Gibson is just Gibson (political views aside), but felt there was so much more potential in this with them. Disappointed 3/10 from me.

Thanks Cas!
It's going to be our Christmas Day (evening) movie
A couple of beers should make it an 8/10 surely

 

[BAN5HEE]

I loved it - But I'm a sucker for any Mel Gibson movie. Firm 8/10 for me.

 

[MaryWhitehouse]

Loved it too. Gibson and Goggins both great. Not a 10 but a very enjoyable 7½.

 

[raymondo77]

I also enjoyed this, a solid 7/10 from me. I would have liked some more crazy, but the matter of fact deadpan approach was fun.

I enjoyed it. The tone's of it's all over the place but I still liked it.

Mel Gibson + body count + Santa = a Christmas present for Willie and the Kid!

 

[QuestShield]

Enjoyed this! Not a classic but better than a crappy Christmas romcom that's for sure.

 

[richp007]

You basically can't lose with Goggins' involvement.
