ST. LOUIS Certain things in life are a sure thing. Fresh bacon on Sunday morning. People do not understand how roundabouts work. Savage attacks over one s politics. Another certainty in life is Denmark films made with Mads Mikkelsen are always going to be good. Anders Thomas Jensen s Riders of Justice is no different.
Fun Fact: Jensen has made five feature-length films in his young career. All five have starred or co-starred Mikkelsen. They are the Danish DiCaprio and Scorsese, a pair of creatives who most likely know each other s yin and yang without pause. A shorthand that makes this new action drama a real treat. But it s his intelligently perceptive screenplay here that makes a bigger difference. Revenge plots are a dime a dozen these days, so Jensen wisely shakes up the setup, giving his muse the proper showcase along with a cast of misfits that makes this hard-hitting thriller somewhat lighter than usual.
