Nice try

This is not the first movie to start on a high note and then gradually fall down, as the expectations were set pretty high from that beginning. And it won't be the last. While the premise is nice and the acting... Read more

What is happening to Dennis Quaid? Seriously now, he is playing the role of the distant father more and more and he plays in worse and worse movies. I like the guy! Cast him in something decent! As for the movie,... Read more
Decent new blood for the thriller genre

I'll certainly say one thing for this movie...I'm surprised it hasn't received any sort of real theater time (to my knowledge). You'd think that Dennis Quaid's name alone could carry at least a decent box office take. But no matter...that's not... Read more
The Horsemen didn't get a wide release in the US despite having one here. I figured out the reason halfway into the movie: Zhang Ziyi ("Ziyi Zhang" just looks stupid). Despite having second billing, she actually doesn't have all that much... Read more
This movie was great. The plot is interesting and original, and it has a message. But most importantly, everything has a purpose. The mood is right. There is gore, but just enough to convey the perversion of the killer. The dialogs... Read more

Don't come and see: yet more religious nonsense

7.2 on IMDb? Really? It must be a reaction of Middle America to the recent atheist uprising (books by Hitchens, Dawkins, etc.) that there are so many fantastical movies lately. Not satisfied with comic book heroes (Batman, Iron Man, Spiderman, etc.),... Read more
Doesn't hold a candle to the movies it copied

The Horsemen touts itself as another serial killer cat and mouse and admirably attempts to mix in several sub-genres including torture, exotic piercing, plot twists, and even a silence of the lambs (more Primal Fear in execution) style prison exchange. What... Read more
A Nutshell Review: The Horsemen

I was gearing up for a good serial killer movie given the premise of having the four horsemen of the apocalypse, with the trailer piquing my interest from its fair share of unflinching blood and gore. Sad to say though that... Read more
