THE G (full review at Screen Realm)

The G (for Grandmother) is a hard nosed crime story from writer / director Karl R. Hearne, that sees an elderly couple placed into a court ordered guardianship against their will. But the perpetrators soon discover dark secrets in their past that mean this was not the easy job they first thought.

Ann (Dale Dickey) is the primary carer for her bed-bound husband, looking after him at home with the weekly support of visits from her granddaughter (by marriage), Emma (Romane Denis). After a visit to the doctor, where Ann is admonished for some minor neglect of her husband’s hygiene, they are forcibly removed from their home in the middle of the night by a court-appointed guardian, Rivera (Bruce Ramsay). They are taken to a care facility, where Rivera and his assistant Ralph (Jonathan Koensgen), believing they have inheritance money squirrelled away, violently interrogate the couple.

RIDERS OF JUSTICE (RETFÆRDIGHEDENS RYTTERE) (full review at Screen Realm)

Riders of Justice is a Danish thriller from Academy Award-winning director Anders Thomas Jensen (Adam’s Apples, Men & Chicken). Part revenge movie, part primal scream, it tackles grief and revenge as both an action thriller and dark comedy.

Markus (Mads Mikkelsen) is a soldier, deployed to Afghanistan, when he receives the news that his wife and daughter were in a train accident. His wife did not survive. Returning home to Denmark, Markus struggles with his grief. He refuses advice, counselling and anything resembling any form of help. Markus struggles to relate to his daughter, Mathilde (Andrea Heick Gadeberg), and is not a comforting presence. Their relationship was already distant and his grief-driven bouts of violence and unsympathetic advice drive a further wedge between them.

A few days after the crash, they are visited by Otto (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) and his two friends, Lennart (Lars Brygmann) and Emmenthaler (Nicolas Bro). Otto was on board the train with Mathilde and her mother, Emma (Anne Birgitte Lind). As a mathematician by trade, Otto is convinced that, statistically, the chances of the crash being an accident are almost impossible. He presents Markus with compelling evidence that the three friends have uncovered: The crash was intentional, and responsibility lies with a criminal biker gang called the Riders of Justice. The four new friends set out to make them pay.
