    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Viggo Mortensen, on working three roles (actor, director, producer) for the film: "Fortunately, Viggo the actor was fairly well behaved. And fortunately Viggo the director was not too unkind or strict with Viggo the actor, so they got along pretty well... Viggo the producer liked the fact that Viggo the actor would be working for free and as a producer, he was also happy that the director was working for free."
    • Quotes

      Willis: Christmas is meaningless anymore. It's all jingle with no bells.

    • Crazy credits
      "The American Crow" and "The Common Raven" get shout-outs. Viggo Mortensen is a big fan of corvids, and the supporters of his favorite soccer team refer to each other as "Crows" ("Cuervos").

    Not bad for a directorial debut.
    The performances are good, well-directed, and believable. Mr. Henriksen was terrific. I hope to see Viggo directing more projects in the future.
