Imagine a Liam Neeson revenge thriller with an early Coen brothers oddball vibe.
In Anders Thomas Jensen’s Danish film “Riders of Justice,” which is both action thriller and sensitive father-daughter drama, the incomparable Mads Mikkelsen is a soldier with a special set of skills who goes after the crime organization behind his wife’s killing.
Except, it’s not really
that kind of film. At its heart, it’s a darkly comic drama about a man trained to be a killing machine who must rediscover his own humanity before his daughter loses hers. Along the way, a family of quirky characters is formed.
