	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Salty, violent, transgressive, button-pushing, non-PC and laugh-out-loud funny at times"	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Deliriously wry and so perfectly balanced it should become a case study in script classes, “Riders of Justice” may be the film that finally gives Anders Thomas Jensen international recognition"	POS
United States	Tim Brinkhof The Film Stage	"In the hands of a less skilled filmmaker, the inclusion of so many colorful characters, not to mention the meandering roads they take, might come across as arbitrary and pointless.In Riders, they serve a thematic purpose"	POS
United States	Beatrice Loayza The New York Times	"[Jensen's] dizzyingly chaotic methods amount to a dynamic, unexpectedly touching ode to the difficulties of baring your vulnerabilities to genuinely overcome them."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[An] unexpectedly poignant modern fable about the search for meaning in a world where everything happens by chance, but nothing is a coincidence."	POS
Canada	Josh Bell CBR	"By keeping the audience off-balance for most of the movie, 'Riders of Justice' leaves viewers with more than just cheap, forgettable thrills."	POS
United States	Matt Fowler IGN	"A pleasant surprise that both undermines and elevates typical revenge sagas, 'Riders of Justice' is a unique blend that charms and captivates."	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"A dialled-down performance from Mikkelsen that gives his sidekicks space to shine (...) This film is an oddball delight. It’s by turns ultra-violent then drily funny and surprisingly wise (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
	Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"[Jensen] perfects the art of first making you laugh out loud, and then making you apologise for it profusely. It must be a Danish thing."	POS
