Fatman takes a surprisingly serious approach to a potentially ludicrous twist on the Santa Claus legend, aiming for edgy but mostly missing the mark.

Like reindeer on an icy roof, this experiment in blending fantasy and felonies never finds its footing. November 14, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

For all of the work that the Nelms brothers put into figuring out the logistics of a real-world Santa ... it's more than a bit disappointing that it's all in service of something fundamentally routine. November 13, 2020 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Hate Mel Gibson all you want for his vile outbursts, but if you have a liking for sick, "Bad Santa"-style Christmas movie satires, you still might want to give "Fatman" a try. November 12, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Waffling between anger and pathos, dry humor and dead-eyed violence, "Fatman" feels tonally befuddled. November 12, 2020 | Full Review…

It's not quite as gonzo as the premise sounds, but embodying the spirit of Jolly Nick with a dash of his Lethal Weapon nutjob, Gibson does an admirable job of holding it all together. November 25, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Fatman is like getting a decent pair of socks under the tree. You're thankful for them, but they aren't gonna be the gifts you remember. November 24, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Nelms want to say something about a world where a kid puts a hit on Santa and the old man himself is taking money from the military, but it's never quite clear what their message is or what tone they're aiming for. November 23, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
