Very good film


the gentlemen who reviewed the film on the main page, described it as raw, and i couldn't agree more. This was a revenge flick, simple story ... a father who wants revenge...in BLOOD. very tense, gory and real. i'm tired of people bitching, " it was rubbish"...what do you expect??The Horseman carried a simple plot, that follows through just fine, with moments of suspense and shock and even emotion, by the lead actor, who i thought was great. It was well shot, directed and acted, and is a good addition to what i would call for sake of a better word...the "revenge" genre.

for those who enjoyed this and didn't think it was "rubbish"..there is a great french Canadian film, also about a father who wants to destroy the murderer of his daughter, called "Les 7 jours du talion"(2010)

Well stated.

This was a great movie. 'Seven Days' ('Les 7 jours du talion') was great, too. That movie was insanely graphic. The bad guy in that movie totally got what was coming to him.

I also thought it was great and it went down a treat at the festival I saw it at. Completely agree on 7 Days, another excellent film.

I agree with everyone else, this movie was very good! I just watched it for the first time yesterday, and I haven't gotten into such an emotionally inspired "revenge" flick like this since the original Death Wish movie.

One of the reasons I think The Horseman is so great, is due to the perfect casting and acting of the "bad guys". The characters are all very believable, and well acted beginning of course with the leading man Peter Marshall.

I love Australian cinema, and have seen a number of movies from there that I really enjoyed watching. One of my favorites is Wolf Creek 1 and 2. Awesome movies, with yet another awesome cast and group of people that put it together.

Yea this film was excellent. Unknown Director, unknown actors with a small budget and they absolutely killed it. Simple story that was fleshed out well. Good villains and a protagonist I was rooting for even though he was doing terrible things. Fast paced and they didn't hold back on the blood and gore whatsoever. Very good job to all those involved. I highly recommend this for anyone who has interest in bloody action thriller films.
