Was it bad luck, or did someone plan it? Riders of Justice, written for the screen as a mix of action, comedy and drama and directed by Anders Thomas Jensen, turns that question into a 116-minute Danish-Swedish film from 2020 about grief and the urge to find someone to blame.

What is Riders of Justice about?

Markus is a soldier on deployment when he learns that his wife has died in a train accident. He comes home to look after his teenage daughter, Mathilde, and the two of them barely know how to speak about what happened. At first the crash looks like nothing more than terrible chance. Then a mathematician who was travelling on the same train arrives at the door with two colleagues and a theory: the odds do not add up, and the accident may have been a carefully arranged killing in which Markus's wife was simply a random casualty. For a man trained to act instead of mourn, the idea is hard to resist, and an unlikely group forms around it.

About the cast

Mads Mikkelsen heads the cast, joined by Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Lars Brygmann and Nicolas Bro. Andrea Heick Gadeberg, Gustav Lindh, Roland Møller and Albert Rudbeck Lindhardt complete the main ensemble. The film works as a group piece: a hardened military man on one side, a handful of awkward number-minded outsiders on the other, and a teenager trying to make sense of all of them.

Context & significance

A co-production between Denmark and Sweden, Riders of Justice was released in 2020 and has been warmly received by audiences. Its three listed genres pull in different directions on purpose. The action is blunt, the comedy comes from mismatched personalities sharing one house, and the drama stays with a father and daughter who grieve in incompatible ways. Underneath the plot runs a simple argument about coincidence and whether people can accept that some events have no author. The violence and the theme of loss make it a film for adult viewers more than a family evening.
