Red One, starring Dwayne Johnson, puts a fresh spin on the tale of Santa Claus. It shows this bearded gift-giver with a rugged look. Besides his usual wholesome duties, he has a few more.

It’s as if Callum had spent every night of his life watching “Jingle All the Way,” which “Red One” manages to one-up in the depressing-mayhem department. The Santa abduction wakes him up.

Movies & More reviewer John Gillispie shares his thoughts on “Red One,” which is rated PG-13 and available on DVD.
