At first I thought it was going to be some kind of Saw clone, but luckily it wasn't. I thought it was a great film that wasn't supposed to be about torture, but it also contained enough gory scenes every now and then.
In terms of cast, it was also good and it came across convincingly.
The ending was less surprising than expected, but nevertheless I didn't think it was bad.
A good movie with a good pace and no dead moments. Not a topper, but fine to catch up on TV and enjoy a nice movie night.

Horsemen is a movie that tries to resemble Se7en. The most important similarity is, of course, the Bible, from which inspiration is drawn. Unfortunately, the film doesn't come close to Se7en. It also resembles the movie Saw at times. Horsemen is fortunately not a bad film because it makes nice use of passages from the Bible, and they are interwoven in the story in a good way. Unfortunately, there is a lack of depth for the characters and too little effort has been made to have an original approach. In any case, you can compare two good movies with Horsemen, and that is positive.
Dennis Quaid is doing well. It's just a shame that his character is quite monotonous and lacks depth. The man certainly played better. In any case, he plays quite consistently. Ziyi Zhang is actually the big surprise of this film. She plays a very special role and knows how to excel in it. Zhang's character turns out to be a complete psychopath and is very intimidating and scary. Nice to see how such a fragile Chinese woman can make many a man tremble with fear.
Average thriller that never gets good or bad. It's a shame because there could have been more in it. It's not the acting, but more of a standard script. I would have liked a lot more depth and tension. Furthermore, it all looks solid: that is apparent from the decoration and the tight camera work. Horsemen knows how to put you on a different track at a number of moments and I did not expect that with this film. The ending leaves a bit to be desired.

This is one of those films where the story is more promising than the execution. I can't really put my finger on what it is exactly, but it will be a combination of the not always strong acting and the not very well developed story. However, it remains fascinating thanks to the short playing time (fortunately). But certainly not a great movie!
