I personally couldn’t care less about what the 64-year-old actor did or has done publicly. All I know is that he still has the chops to lead a movie. Ever since attempting a comeback, after being caught on tape slurring anti-semitic and just plain racist remarks, Gibson has starred in three down-and-dirty, but immensely watchable, B-movies (“Get the Gringo,” “Blood Father” and, especially “Dragged Across Concrete.”) and three absolutely terrible stinkers (“Ther Expendables,” “Daddy’s Home,” “Force of Nature”). In “Fatman,” a dark action-comedy, a neglected and precocious 12-year-old. after getting a lump of coal in his stocking, hires an unorthodox hitman (Walton Goggins) to kill Santa (Gibson). That’s right, such a movie exists and will be released on VOD just in time for the holidays. Today’s trailer only enhanced my curiosity for the movie, it’s an absolutely appalling trailer, filled with some of the most ridiculous moments I have seen in a movie all year, and that’s just after having seen two minutes of footage. Honestly, you have to hand it to writer-directors Eshom Nelms and Ian Nelms for deciding to make this movie like this, playing it all with a straight face, not to mention adding a ridiculously dark and solemn version of “Jingle Bells” into the score. “Fatman” is set to arrive in select theaters on November 13 before hitting VOD on November 17.
