The 2nd
The whole film feels like a teenage fever dream. It’s Die Hard-esque, but has none of the fun, and on top of the oddly-slapped-on Christmas elements there’s oddly-slapped-on, almost-nonsensical US politics.
Some of the action sequences were fun, but don’t really make up for the film’s many other shortcomings.
