Mathilde egy tragikus vonatbalesetben veszíti el édesanyját. Apja, Markus hivatásos katonaként hosszú éveket töltött távol otthonuktól, most hazatér egyedül maradt lányához. Hamarosan felkeresi Markust egy különös figura, Otto, aki szintén a vonaton utazott és állítja, hogy a baleset nem volt véletlen. A gyilkosságot egy koronatanú kiiktatására tervelték ki, aki az Igazság bajnokai nevű motorosbanda feje ellen tanúskodott volna, Markus felesége pedig csupán véletlen áldozata volt a merényletnek. A katona nem habozik, Ottoval és barátaival – akik a feladatra tökéletesen alkalmatlanok – bosszúhadjáratra indul, még ha ehhez a fél alvilággal le is kell számolnia. (Vertigo Média)

Riders of Justice has so much to offer that I feel like I've only watched very limited films up until now. You want drama and emotion? You got it. You want action? You got it! You want laughs? Oh, for sure. I would never doubt Mads Mikkelsen as an actor, but I would never have expected him to have such fists. And the whole pack of them, just like the combination of genres, comes together nicely. Ah, Denmark. 4.5 stars

Anders Thomas Jensen delivers one of the best Nordic films in the last ten years, and he has the biggest stars available. Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt), Nikolaj Lie Kaas (Department Q), Nicolas Bro (Small Town Killers) against Roland Møller (R), that's what I call an awesome cast! The main character's wife dies in a tragic train accident and three friends approach him. They have figured out that it was not an accident and ask him if he wants to seek revenge and confront a dangerous biker gang. The film has a solid revenge story, spiced up with dark and very funny black humor (I laughed a lot), intelligent dialogues, and when it came to action, it was uncompromising, intense, and damn realistic, especially the final home invasion has an awesome atmosphere. Mads Mikkelsen probably has the best role after The Hunt, he plays an elite soldier and exudes respect. The villain is played by Roland Møller, who has already proven himself in the role of a merciless bastard several times, although he deserved even more space here. A very good film, which not only is enjoyable to watch but also leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth after it ends. I would have welcomed more action and more space for the villain, but otherwise, I am very satisfied. Story *****, Action *****, Humor *****, Violence ****, Entertainment *****, Music *****, Visuals *****, Atmosphere *****, Tension *****. 8.5/10.

I don't know where Jensen gets these ideas from, but it works. Sometimes it's downright enjoyable, and it also never completely fails. He once again shows that nothing is sacred to him, and he can bring together seemingly incompatible heroes, genres, and emotions. Riders of Justice is a black tragicomedy about a very unsuccessful journey for revenge. Among other things, the viewer will learn why we shouldn't believe in conspiracy theories, but also why Nordic countries don't need the death penalty. Jensen wildly mixes absurdity with randomness, and if you're willing to handle some violence and cynical humor that doesn't care about societal correctness, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this ride with a bunch of crazy outsiders. Overall impression: 80%.

John Wick, a biker gang, a prostitute, causality, correlation, Christmas and IT dudes. It's equal parts psychological drama, Nordic noir with social overtones, proper black comedy, uncompromising action flick, intimate family drama about coping with unexpected loss, (not so) feel-good buddy movie, situation comedy, Christmas cheer movie and… and a few other genres and boxes too. What is admirable is that it is not for a moment a disparate mishmash and a tug-of-war over which genre will pull the strings. Despite the multi-genre disjointedness, it's integral, as it works on several levels and opposing genres simultaneously. So the scenes where you bust out laughing while nerve-wracking tension builds and we get to the heart of the characters, among other things, are not the exception that proves the rule.

Soldier Markus returns home from the war to take care of his daughter and cope with the tragic death of his wife, who was killed in a train accident. But when he discovers that a dangerous gang may have been involved, he decides to take revenge, even if it means working with a trio of antisocial geniuses. Riders of Justice is a clever multi-genre film that alternates funny moments with poignant ones, and bloody shootouts with intimate drama. But thanks to the great cast and the confident direction, it all fits together perfectly.
