Fancy a movie with a few dark quips amidst pure pulpy chaos?
Just say yes, because this new revenge thriller also features Mads Mikkelsen as the main character.
He’s bald, has a beard, and is going after a deadly biker gang to avenge his wife and daughter.
If you loved Taken, then consider yourself taken with Riders of Justice, directed by Anders Thomas Jensen.
Here’s more from Collider:
The first trailer for Riders of Justice shows Markus Hansen coming home after being deployed to take care of his teenage daughter, Mathilde, after his wife and her mother has died in what seems like a tragic train accident. That is until a man named Otto (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) tells Hansen the entire accident was actually a calculated series of events in order to provide cover for the assassination of someone else on the train. Otto would know, as he also was on the train and witnessed the horrors of the “accident” firsthand.
Hansen is then thrust into a world of violence where he must use his military training to go after those he has determined are responsible for the death of his wife. He also must find a way to reconnect with his daughter, the wonderful Andrea Heick Gadeberg, who is simultaneously dealing with the loss of her mother and the disconnection she feels from her father.
If you’re still not so sure who Mikkelsen is, he also starred in Another Round, which has been nominated for Best International Feature Film at the Oscars.
He was also cast in the new Indiana Jones film slated for release next year.
There’s definitely something quite satisfying about watching skilled actors fight through the chaos that we are not a part of.
Here’s the trailer, with the US premiere set for May 14, and the rest of the world May 21:
No, that guy with the beard and glasses is not Seth Rogen.
