I watched it last night and enjoyed it fairly well.
Not sure I'd regard it as a "Santa Western" but I can at least see how you'd get there in your thought process.
It's a smaller movie that I expected. The trailer made me think there would be more action. There is actually very little action, and I looked up the budget, and it was made for only $20 million. I have to wonder how much of that went to Mel and Goggins.
It was fairly amusing. Tonally, kind of weird. It gets strangely dark at times. But if you are looking for something Christmas-themed to watch and don't want to double-back to movies you've seen 10x already, it might be worth a look. It's largely a movie that is made worthy by the presence and performances of its stars.
