Riders of Justice

2021 | 1h 56m | Comedy, Drama

'Riders of Justice' showtimes in London

Important Notice about Showtimes

After six years on the cinema scene, we’re sad to announce that WeLoveCinema will stop delivering showtimes and cease updating from Friday 4 August, 2023.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but we’re incredibly proud of what we achieved in that time, and are grateful for the experiences and opportunities that came our way.

We’ve hand-picked a selection of ways to stream online.

What we think

When it finds the right gear, Riders of Justice is very enjoyable, the sort of bombastic, lowbrow, purely entertaining European thriller that rarely ever finds its way into UK cinemas.

What others think

There are action thrills, to be sure, but they are folded into what becomes a sort of group therapy session on the psychology of grief, guilt, vengeance, chance and coincidence. Even more blessedly, it’s often hilarious.

Steve Rose The Guardian

Without ever losing sight of the violence – and sometimes delighting in it – there’s also a deeper philosophical point.

John Bleasdale Sight and Sound

While we are waiting for Joel Coen to finish The Tragedy Of Macbeth and reteam with Ethan, Riders Of Justice fills the Coen brothers-shaped hole very nicely.

Baato review – Nepal’s past and future collide in an immersive, fraught documentary

A mountain trek intertwines with a road-building project, granting incisive, if underpowered, insight into a much underseen world

The Beanie Bubble review – a grim new low for the “corporate biopic” genre

With none of the saving graces of Tetris, Air, or Barbie, this ambition-free look at the Beanie Baby craze is pure mediocrity

Everybody Loves Jeanne review – thoroughly modern fable of grief, romantic confusion, and climate anxiety

Celine Deveaux's French-Portuguese debut can be too quirky for its own good, but a fantastically written lead character keeps it afloat
