Rent Horsemen of the Apocalypse (2009)

Ow that hurts! - Horsemen of the Apocalypse review by CP Customer

Perverse it certainly is. A great serial killer movie with good performances from the actors especially Ziyi Zhang as a real temptress. Some of the murders made me choke on my dinner and i wondered how the detective could sleep at night. Again a good twist at the end surprised me. A really good watch.

On balance, I'd rather have the hour and half back. - Horsemen of the Apocalypse review by CP Customer

It looks good, the acting is good, the camera work great.............but the plot is tired and worn out. Using the horseman of the apocalypse as a theme doesn't really work and while Dennis Quaid is very credible, there's not enough to separate this from so many other Hollywood murder/thrillers. It really isn't worth it, even in blu ray.

Great film, not mad about the ending. - Horsemen of the Apocalypse review by NP

Dennis Quaid is excellent as worn-out, recently widowed detective Aidan Breslin. In fact, no-on in the cast puts in less than a terrific performance, especially Ziyi Zhang as Kristin and Breslin’s two overlooked children who occasionally threaten to derail the plot (or do they?).

This is a dark, emotionally raw horror chiller, beautifully directed by Jonas Åkerlund. It seems to be building to something apocalyptic, or at least, something more impressive than the overtly saccharine ending we get.

It’s a shame the story ends in so anti-climactic a fashion, the journey up to that point is an inventive and interesting one that inspires lots of suspicions about various characters and their motives. A lot of this comes to nothing. My score is 6 out of 10.
