Riders of Justice

You know what they say ... how certain things lead to other things happening. And it all seems to start with a girl wanting a bicylce ... you would not imagine where this leads too. So many variables and so many different things playing into this.

And a movie that is not afraid to be violent and crazy. It switches from funny to sad to over the top action. And it works - if you let yourself dive into it. The actors are doing a great job with it. If you've seen a few movies, you may be able to recognize a couple of them anyway, not just Mads Mikkelsen.

This will not be everyones cup of tea, but those who love movies that are off beat and are quite hard to describe, let alone guess where they go next ... who live from crazy yet relatable characters ... well they will rejoice and be as entertained as they can be. Do not expect this to be like a smooth US movie - that would be by the numbers and this is doing anything but that. It may even offend you in one way or another ...

This movie follows a group of both interesting and hilarious characters. We see them go through hell, in belief of what they are doing is for the greater good. And hilariously so. Definitely a 2020 must watch.

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.
