Lethal Weapon 1 & 2.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

... Predator!

Sure enough, there is no mistaking that this is a Shane Black movie, An action film with a Christmas setting, Kidnap plot, Voice over, Black buddy/ White buddy interaction, Snappy dialogue.
These are all little things which work their way into…
