To save his declining business, Chris Cringle (Mel Gibson), also known as Santa Claus, is forced into a partnership with the U.S. military. Making matters worse, Chris gets locked into a deadly battle of wits against a highly skilled assassin (Walton Goggins), hired by a precocious 12-year-old after receiving a lump of coal in his stocking. 'Tis the season for Fatman to get even, in the action-comedy that keeps on giving.

    What
    Really weird movie, but also really good- mainlh becuase of how weird it is. This is one of those movies that as your watching it you don't really believe it's even real. I feel like it could of been a tad better, needed a little more of a christmans feeling- but and i never thought id say this, mel gibson makes a good santa, gona be weird next time i watch him in something like lethal weapon or braveheart.
