Episode 84 - Riders of Justice
Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb podcast. This is the show where we reexamine films that bombed at the box office or were panned by the critics. This week, the gang checks out a film from the far-off land of Denmark, 2021’s action/comedy/drama - Riders of Justice. At first glance, this one looks like a dark, humorous revenge story and can easily be thrown into the John Wick/Taken pile. However, Riders of Justice is a much deeper and meditative movie.
Troy and Brad bring back their buddy, Sammy from the GGMTC, to help with a discussion about free will, predestination, religion, and fatherhood. Ultimately, the gang determines if a small film from Denmark is truly a bomb or one of the best movies to hit US theaters in 2021.
Riders of Justice is directed by Anders Thomas Jensen and stars Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Andrea Heick Gadeberg, Lars Brygmann, and Nicolas Bro. Check out Jensen’s previous work - Flickering Lights, and Men & Chicken.
