Les cavaliers de la justice

A bunch of misfits, most with anger issues, try to go on a rampage, led by a PTSD-suffering Mads Mikkelsen.

This movie features many of the best male danish actors. It has strong perfomances and a laugh-out riot dialogue, especially from the supporting cast, that you have to hear to believe.

It's not a revenge-movie per se, but deals with issues like parenthood, friendship, and forgiveness. Because of this, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and think it's the best movie to come out from Denmark in years.

IMDB thought that if I like this movie I should watch Nobody. The suggestions algorithm needs some serious improvements. If US could produce a revenge movie that was even half of what Riders for Justice stands for then I wouldn't mind giving them another go but I seriously doubt they'll ever get to the same level ever with scandinavian cinema and storytelling. So anyone out there that is fed up by John Wick mania give this one a go.

In the US we associate indies with sub-par film-making. Because they are cheap productions destined to fill the pipeline for some low-end cable channel, and most of the cash never makes it to the screen. This Danish gem is the exception to the rule. For a tight $5.0 mil budget we not only get top production values and acting, but a story that defies expectations at every turn. Tarantino meets Keystone Cops. Engaging. A treat.

After watching some mediocre movies lately Retfærdighedens Ryttere (or Riders of Justice for the English title) was exactly what I needed. Finally a movie that stands out from the rest. Majoritarily in Danish, which isn't a problem at all with subtitles, this movie starts intriguing to finish in total chaos. Good twists and turns keep the audience interested in the story. But not only the story was highly entertaining, also the acting from the entire cast was most enjoyable to follow. Mads Mikkelsen is the top name in this movie, and he always delivers so no surprise here. The funniest character to me was Emmenthaler played beautifully by Nicolas Bro. I can't think of anything bad to write about this movie. Definitely a movie I will watch again in the future, when I forgot everything about it, if that's even possible.

"Riders of Justice" is an Action - Drama movie in which we watch a group of people doing some very dangerous and important actions without thinking a lot about them since they believe that they are doing it for the greater good.

I liked this movie very much because it had a very interesting plot that consisted of some plot twists that I did not expect and the combination of drama with some comic relief moments was simply amazing. The direction which was made by Anders Thomas Jensen was also very good and he succeeded on making us feel what his main characters being through and follow them on their journey. The interpretation of Mads Mikkelsen who played as Markus was simply outstanding and he proved his talent. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Nikolaj Lie Kaas' who played as Otto, Nicolas Bro's who played as Emmenthaler and Lars Brygmann's who played as Lennart. Lastly, I have to say that "Riders of Justice" is an amazing movie and I strongly recommend everyone to watch it.
