Barely a Christmas movie, but surprisingly decent for a low rated action-thriller from 2000. I'm really coming around to this era of Affleck.
It held my attention as it was happening, but I don't expect to retain much about it. There were two twists that really did surprise me though, and that is making me lean more positive than neutral.
