Classics: Riders of Justice
Cinema Forum Groningen
Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenA deadly train crash, three eccentric mathematicians, and one dogged soldier: Riders of Justice is a mercilessly witty revenge film that collides chaos, chance, and humanity.
When his wife dies in a train crash, soldier Markus suspects it wasn't an accident. With the help of three unworldly data nerds, he embarks on a relentless quest for justice—or revenge. What follows is an explosive mix of action, dark humor, and existential melancholy, in which calculation and coincidence constantly undermine each other. In Riders of Justice, Mads Mikkelsen gives a layered portrayal of a man trying to bring order to a meaningless world.
The film dismantles the revenge genre with humor, heart, and unexpected tenderness. As brutal as it is moving, Jensen shows how loss and logic are incompatible—and how connection is sometimes the only counterbalance to the randomness of life. A raw, witty, and deeply human modern classic.
