In this darkly humorous, wild, and supremely quirky thriller, recently deployed Marcus has to return home to his teenage daughter, Mathilde, when his wife dies in a tragic train accident. It seems like an accident until a mathematics geek, who was also a fellow passenger on the train, and his two colleagues show up. Directed by Anders Thomas Jensen (Salvation), who wrote screenplays for some of the best Danish films of the last decade and starring Nikolaj Lie Kass and Mads Mikkelsen, today's most versatile international leading man. Winner of Danish Film Awards in almost every category. 116 minutes. In Danish with English subtitles.

"There's a sincere empathy for these damaged characters, and intelligent musings on fate, coincidence and trauma, all helped down by some delightfully absurd and audacious comedy." -- The Guardian
"Riders of Justice is an oddball delight. Taking a leaf from the Coens' playbook, it's by turns ultra-violent then drily funny and surprisingly wise. Come for Mikkelsen, stay for his winning band of lovable losers." -- Empire
"A pitch-black comedy about questions, coincidences and ideas that pile up faster than the body count." -- Globe and Mail
"A deliciously absurdist, fundamentally serious, even philosophical enterprise that uses a superheated revenge plot to address our common need for making sense out of life." -- Wall Street Journal
