Review of Horsemen (2009) by R.l. — 14 Jul 2009
The Horsemen is not a perfect film, and to tell you the truth it doesn't pretend to be. No the horsemen sets out to break no new grounds but it does succeed in giving us a good twist on the serial Killer genre.
Dennis Quaid( who I thought was excellent.) stars as a detective who has recently lost his wife and has distant himself from his son. Now he has been tasked with finding and bringing to justice a group of killers who dub themselves the Four horsemen.
This film follows a winding and very twisted path of murder and deception that make this film such a thrill to watch. This movie is not what you expect,you get a very well made and well plotted Psychological horror thriller that's sure to blow you away.
This film doesn't follow protocol it creates a new one with the use of Revelation 6 form the bible, the verse that tells of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and that's the thing that makes this film so appealing It draws you into a dark and surreal world that is shrouded in mystery and despair and that's why the film succeeds.
Dennis Quaid turns in another great performance as the emotionally distant cop who has to track these psycho's down and I think he did very well here with the presence of a terrible supporting cast and some very bad acting on there part this film makes Quaid look very, very good.
And the funny thing is, he is! This movie is great for a rainy day or when you feel in the mood for watching some good horror. But all in all the Horsemen is not a bad film, not a great one but not bad at that.
This film delivers one awesome movie experience.
