An aging ex-boxer gangster working as muscle for a Boston crime boss receives an upsetting diagnosis. Despite a faltering memory, he attempts to rectify the sins of his past and reconnect with his estranged children. He is determined to leave a positive legacy for his grandson, but the criminal underworld isn’t done with him and won’t loosen their grip willingly.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie is an action/crime thriller focused on redemption, legacy, and dealing with a medical diagnosis within a criminal underworld. There is no indication that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution are tied to the Christmas season whatsoever."
