About Fatman (2020) — Mel Gibson vs. a 12-year-old's hitman in this dark holiday satire
Dive into the twisted holiday chaos of *Fatman* (2020), a darkly comedic action-fantasy that reimagines Santa Claus as a battle-hardened entrepreneur. Directed by Eshom Nelms, this unconventional Christmas tale follows a cash-strapped Kris Kringle fending off corporate raiders and a 12-year-old's vengeful hitman plot after a humiliating lump of coal.

Mel Gibson stars as the battle-weary Santa, trading reindeer for shotguns in a desperate bid to save his failing empire. Walton Goggins steals scenes as his relentless adversary, while Marianne Jean-Baptiste adds depth to the chaotic narrative. *Fatman* defies expectations, pairing sleigh bells with gunfire in a story that questions consumerism, childhood disillusionment, and the true meaning of holiday spirit.
