Two Santa Clauses are drinking in a bar. When one of them walks drunkenly towards the roof, the bartender runs after him to warn him. Instead, she sees Santa Claus rides off his way on a sleigh with reindeer. And now, she is a believer of Santa. 

Jason, his wife Linda and Trudy, their daughter travel to the family mansion to celebrate Christmas with Getrude, Jason's wealthy mother. They are joined by Alva and Betrude, her son and Morgan, her latest wannabe movie star. The siblings are already at each other's throat, with Alva trying to impress her mother whereas Jason is tired of listening to his mother's orders and at the brink of his family's destruction. 

Realising that he did not take Trudy to see Santa at the mall, Jason gives Trudy his old walkie-talkie, saying that Trudy can 'talk directly to Santa' using that walkie. 

Santa arrives at the mansion and delivers the gift, as Trudy has been a good child all year round. He sits at the massage chair while enjoying the milk and cookies left by Trudy for him. At the same time, the catering staff an servants change into their real selves, a group of mercenaries led by a man who calls himself 'Mr. Scrooge'. They take the family hostage and wants Getrude to bring them to her safe and open it so that they could take the USD300 million stored there.

Santa wants to escape the mansion but one of the henchman captures him and a fight ensues, with the henchman dead after falling from the room straight and impaled by an icicle decoration. From there, Santa has to kill the henchman one by one as he makes his way out of the mansion. Trying to call for help using the henchman's walkie talkie, he accidentally finds Trudy's channel and he decides that he has to save Trudy and her family.

Mr Scrooge finds out that Santa is cutting his help thin, so he calls for a back-up. What Getrude hopes to be her 'kill suqad' turns out to be Mr. Scrooge's accomplice - they turned just because they also want a piece of the cake inside the safe.

With his believers getting smaller in number by the minute, Santa's power also thinning thus he gets weaker and with lesser ability to outdo the bad guys.

Will Santa be able to out-best the bad guys?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.7/ 5.0 The storyline is straightforward, with no plot twist whatsoever. The only thing is, Santa is brutal and vicious here, not the typical soft-hearted and calm Santa.

And I think, the scripts could have been better but the actions are great and gory too. 

Cast: 4.5/ 5.0 I imagine if Chris Pratt become the Santa, the movie could have been better. But it is entertaining as it is too.

Will I Watch It Again: I don't mind watching it again. 

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
