Riders of Justice

Mads Mikkelsen is, as usual, fighting mad in Riders of Justice
One of the more pleasant surprises of 2021, Anders Thomas Jensen's Riders of Justice is a thriller with unexpected reservoirs of heart and humor. Mads Mikkelsen brings his stone faced talents to bear as a career soldier whose wife dies in a suspicious train wreck. A motley band of outsiders aid him in his mission of revenge and become a surrogate family to the wounded warrior. If anything, Riders of Justice functions as a critique of more simple minded revenge flicks. Riders of Justice contains rich characterizations and a tonal variety that recalls the best of Jonathan Demme and Aki Kaurismaki. A find!
