Jordan Mintzer Variety 04/16/2009
Riding in on the four ponies currently plaguing the Hollywood horror-thriller -- overstylized torture, whiplash editing, compulsive script reversals and crude neon lighting -- Horsemen brings its herd home to pasture in strictly predictable fashion. Go to Full Review

1/4
About twenty minutes were cut from the International Release of this film; perhaps they contained whatever narrative glue was needed to make this a cohesive drama. Go to Full Review

The scenes of Quaid interrogating Zhang boast the hottest 'Outlet Mall Silence of the Lambs Acting' we're likely to see this year. Go to Full Review

...a watchable yet entirely underwhelming piece of work... Go to Full Review

A grim picture, but utterly ridiculous; a film encouraged by its own sense of misery, though in service of a director who botches the delicate balance between procedural nightmares and familial concern. Go to Full Review

Bisquiteen T Aug 19 Having to try to find Dennis Quaid likable or at least watchable makes it really difficult to get through this movie. See more Wendel L 11/08/2024 Direção: Ok Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Bom Caracterização: Ok Soundtrack: Ok See more Tickle T 09/06/2024 Watching this was a surreal experience. The mystery is something the viewer themselves can figure out along, (if you're clever enough,) and the twists and turns make you sweat with anticipation! Truly unsettling. Must watch again! Definitely recommend. See more Dan R 04/09/2024 How many film studios have seen a successful film concept and then tried to copy it for themselves? Well 2008's 'Horsemen of the Apocalypse', or just 'Horsemen', is exactly that. SYNOPSIS: 'A recently widowed detective still grieving over his wife's death discovers a shocking connection between a serial killing spree and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.' This is 'Seven' lite. The problem being this film isn't very good and it doesn't matter how many bodies are stacked up in gruesome and cruel ways, that's not going to change anything. It's grim, ridiculous and lacking in anything of substance. If we're supposed to feel something positive towards Quaid's character it's just not happening here. He's a grumpy old man who's a shitty Dad, who puts his work first. Sounds familiar though eh!? Predictable and clichéd. Avoid. 3/10 See more Tony B 12/11/2023 An intriguing, uncomfortable and off beat film that is perfectly paced with low level tension punctuated by gut punching scenes of horror. Similar in tone to Seven… (utilising biblical references in the form of the 4 Norsemen) and just as gruesome… very good. See more Carlos T 05/31/2023 Minha opinião: Este estilo de filme houve várias produções nas décadas de 90 e 2000. A estoria é de um "psicopata" que são encontrados vários corpos que são mutilados ao estilo sadomasoquismo. E para desvendar temos o detetive Dennis e seu parceiro Clifton. Que tira Dennis do sério que o relacionamento com seu filho Lou. As mortes são bizarras e cenas fortes. Temos Zhang que se entrega a policia após seu padastro ser encontrado morto. Onde Dennis descobre que ela sofreu estupro por seu padastro e por isso ela o assassinou. E ela passa a falar em código e sendo sarcástica. A presença dela até 2/3 do filme é atuante, mas na faze final ela desaparece. Uma pena, pois ela tinha um papel legal no filme e esquecida no final. E descobre que os assassinatos ocorrem com pessoas onde os adolescentes não tem um bom relacionamento com familiares. E as mortes estão ligadas cada uma aos Cavaleiros do Apocalipse da Biblia. E a cereja do bolo esta guardada para o final. Quem será o ultimo cavaleiro? Surprise......... Dennis sempre tem sua representação bem eloquente. Zhang tem uma boa atuação de forma sarcástica. Roteiro e enredo meio sinistro, e um filme meio sinistro também. Vale apena assistir? uhhhhh Nota: 5 See more Read all reviews
