How to spoil the images of Santa and not blush To be honest, I've never seen a dumber movie about robberies.
The plot tells the story of a brilliant robber who steals art objects, then resells them on the black market and distributes money to those in need. Well, Robin Hood in a new way. Moreover, instead of a hunting suit, he uses Santa’s outfit, as well as super-sophisticated glasses that read all sorts of codes and allow the kidnapper to carry out his plans.
It seems to sound good, especially since Santa-bad from time to time appears in the movies and is ready to shake the established opinion that he is the kindest person in the world. Here and “Bad Santa”, and “Gambling” come to mind, and “Christmas horror stories” too.
Only in this film does Santa leave a depressing impression. First of all, he's stupid. From the very beginning of the film, it becomes clear that he is dumb as a long time ago not sharpened knife, otherwise there is no way to explain his selfie, which will help the cops or the FBI find him.
That doesn't lend itself to logic! Secondly, this Santa doesn’t give the impression of a person who is at all neat and representative of Santa. Instead, it looks like Klaus' costume was bought at the Lenta or some other hypermarket at a huge discount. And only because he was illiquid. Really! A simple suit and a flabby wart with a dozen white hairs - is that all that was found in the film crew? ?
Santa looks like Santa on Coca-Cola bottles. To be exact, he's black. Is that why? I understand that today it is fashionable, but frankly, directors, actors and screenwriters are now actively catching hype on this topic, and those who calculate the rating of films and give them ratings, undeservedly overestimate them. If you watch this movie, I think you doubt that it has a fair rating of 6.0 points.
That’s only in all this nonsense with Santa the thief there is one significant point that the creators missed: Santa, although black and acts as Robin Hood, but he is a thief. That is, the main character in any case, no matter how positive, remains a Black Thief!
But this is so, a small part of the script that the creators simply did not pay attention to. But they didn’t do that to anything else. “Santa wanted” is a thick mixture of primitive and implausible play of the cast, which is typical perhaps for soap operas, all the same weak and poorly written script and exactly the same shooting.
I think even Inspector Lestrade, for all his stupidity, would have solved the case of Santa the robber if he saw his photo and correlated the face in the picture with the one he saw recently. But this is not the case and it is much easier to just crook and try to play something. The film tries to seem comedic, but to be honest, all the so-called humorous moments are implemented very poorly and those who contributed to the script, at the time to go to Regina Dubovitskaya for an audition. As an example, episodes with cookies and talking behind the back. . .
Well, frankly, the actors who played the FBI, turned out exactly the same FBI as the main character Santa. I mean, nothing.
But look at you. I do not impose my opinion on anyone.
Enjoy your visit.
