The Scene: The Stanleys (Emily Watson and Ray Winstone) sit down to a proper dinner during what is perhaps the most brutal film that takes place on Christmas. Captain Stanley freed Charlie Burns in the hopes that he would help capture his psychotic brother, Arthur. With this being a John Hillcoat film, things don't work out the way the characters hope for.
What We're Thankful For: What was already a very tense film, is launched into another stratosphere of nerves when Arthur, Charlie and the Captain collide at the Stanleys home.
Gift under the tree/Coal for your stocking: Coal. While the scene that takes place afterward keeps viewers digging their nails into the armrests of their chairs, there couldn't be a worse way for a Christmas dinner to end. Except for Grandma to start talking about that hot-piece-of-ass Errol Flynn.
