At work, he finds himself thrust into an investigation of perverse serial killings rooted in the Biblical prophecy of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The White Horsemen, a master of deception and the unexpected leader hell-bent on conquest; The Red Horsemen, a sharp-witted warrior intent on turning man against man, with an innocence that hides a burning rage within; The Black Horsemen, a manipulative and dark tyrant, unbalanced but always one step ahead; and The Pale Horsemen, an executioner with disarming strength, determined to spread death through surgical precision. As Breslin grapples with each new revelation in the case, he slowly discovers a shocking connection between himself and the four suspects. (Lionsgate)

This movie is very entertaining and has some deep, interesting plot twists. The characters though are pretty shallow (especially the detective, you don't learn a lot of things about him) Nevertheless, if you and your friends have the opportunity to see this flick in a cinema theatre, This movie is very entertaining and has some deep, interesting plot twists.

The Horsemen is not a perfect film, and to tell you the truth it doesn't pretend to be. No the horsemen sets out to break no new grounds but it does succeed in giving us a good twist on the serial Killer genre. Dennis Quaid( who I thought was excellent.) stars as a detective who has The Horsemen is not a perfect film, and to tell you the truth it doesn't pretend to be. No the horsemen sets out to break no new grounds but it does succeed in giving us a good twist on the serial Killer genre. Dennis Quaid( who I thought was excellent.) stars as a detective who has recently lost his wife and has distant himself from his son. Now he has been tasked with finding and bringing to justice a group of killers who dub themselves the Four horsemen. This film follows a winding and very twisted path of murder and deception that make this film such a thrill to watch. This movie is not what you expect,you get a very well made and well plotted Psychological horror thriller that's sure to blow you away. This film doesn't follow protocol it creates a new one with the use of Revelation 6 form the bible, the verse that tells of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and that's the thing that makes this film so appealing It draws you into a dark and surreal world that is shrouded in mystery and despair and that's why the film succeeds. Dennis Quaid turns in another great performance as the emotionally distant cop who has to track these psycho's down and I think he did very well here with the presence of a terrible supporting cast and some very bad acting on there part this film makes Quaid look very, very good. And the funny thing is, he is! This movie is great for a rainy day or when you feel in the mood for watching some good horror. But all in all the Horsemen is not a bad film, not a great one but not bad at that.this film delivers one awesome movie experience.… Expand

In my opinion the worst is the end of the film, but the film in general is entertaining.

Dennis Quaid gives a good performance in this average thriller. The pacing is very uneven and the story is moderately interesting. Not bad. Good score.

Average movie, but fail short to be entertaining. The ending became predictable halfway through the movie. If you want a good crime drama with religious tie ins, please, just watch se7en. se7en is similar, with superior acting, and superior story development.

While the movie revolves around an interesting plot it is filled with really bad dialogue, bad acting and twists executed in really dull ways.
It starts out pretty neat and you get a sense of "this movie tries to be another Seven" and then you see it falling flat on its face. What reallyWhile the movie revolves around an interesting plot it is filled with really bad dialogue, bad acting and twists executed in really dull ways.
It starts out pretty neat and you get a sense of "this movie tries to be another Seven" and then you see it falling flat on its face. What really astounds me is how they could write such a bad script. Someone at some point should have figured how dull it is. Maybe it's also just the production team that failed to execute it properly

All in all it's a neat movie for a sunday afternoon when you want something to go into hibernation mode but that's about it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. dark detective crime horror procedural that ends up going nowhere. Good set up with grisly clues and good detective work and makes you think there will be a big thrilling pay off in the end as the clues and brilliant detective work lead to some big bang up ending BUT NO, it just ends without the detective actually defeating the bad guy. Gargantuan let down!… Expand
