I am tangentially aware of the foul-mouthed Aussie actor having something of a limited, grindhouse comeback as an actor--even heard good things about 'Dragged Across Concrete'. But now it seems he's gotten himself a starring role in a Christmas movie.
As SANTA CLAUSE.
That''s right. The arc of history has been completed. The action movie star is now doing his best Aww shucks Jimmy Stewart impression and winking at the camera as kind ol' Saint Nick in a family-friendly foray for the ages that--
Oh.
Oh dear.
That's...Oh dear.
But I am curious?
What of others? Is this more grist of stupid garbage I'm only intrigued by because of clever marketing and the fact theaters have been empty for nigh-on half a year?
WOULD Santa Clause even team-up with the US military? Or would he be some kind'a Canadian or Norwegian collaborator? During the Cold War, did he use his own equipment to overfly places as some kinda Christmastime Nonaligned Movement Man, or did he standardize to NATO or Warsaw Pact stuff?
These are the important questions!

It's unbelievably stupid...It somehow reminds of, like, some kind of bizarro-world Home Alone type of thing...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.
