Re: Riders of Justice (2021, D: Jensen) - S: Mads Mikkelsen

Is this getting a US release in theaters? I would watch this one at home but an action movie that is subtitled is a bit different than let's say watching Dark, I like Mads so if this hits Netflix I would give it a watch but I'd probably need to see it twice to catch everything due to the subtitles.

Yes, Magnolia is the US distributor, so it will probably be limited theatres.

I've already watched this, and it was pretty good. It's a strange hybrid of comedy, black comedy and drama. It doesn't always walk that line perfectly, some of the transitions were a bit awkward. But I loved the cast and characters.

Gave it ***/****

I thought it was crazy how well it balanced all these different types of genres.

This was fantastic. Another great addition to the team of Mikkelsen and Jensen’s filmography.

Watched this today via Amazon. Good movie, glad it wasn't as comedic as the trailer made it out to be

It’s very dark humor, but it’s there. The “scientists” are the comic relief, or at least Lennert was the most entertaining.

I saw this this morning and I simply LOVED this movie, great cast, great characters, great plot - a wonderfully weird bizarre mixture of drama, a thriller, a revenge pic - this completely wow'd me - WATCH THIS MOVIE - it's so far my favourite movie of the year !!!

highest recommendation!!

This was really good. I wish there was a little more revenge and a little less drama. But overall, I enjoyed it. I've seen a few critics compare it to early Coen Brothers, and I agree. It reminds me of movies like Blood Simple and Fargo. Dark humor and great cinematography.

Saw this the other night. Pretty good.
Spoiler:
It turning out to be the wrong guy was not expected. Neat little twist.

Wow! One of the best movies I've seen all year. Underrated gem straight outta Denmark. Perfect pitch mix of humor, action and heart. Loved every performance. Reminded me of how much I loved "In Bruges" when it was released.

As usual, it's being remade for a U.S. audience.

I can’t enough of Mads. Ever since Casino Royale. Seen just about everything. Highly recommend Arctic. Incredible! Everything he does I love. The Salvation, Valhalla Rising, of course, Another Round. Everything!
