Annoyed with Martin's insistence, she sneaks down to the basement at night and prepares to sabotage the air conditioner. Martin again refers to them as friends fallen on hard times and starts advising other options. Martin confronts her, and she states that she talked to her brother about Martin's erratic behavior and issues an ultimatum either the waxworks go or she does. If that fails, she can break the air conditioner so that the waxworks will melt and no longer be an issue.īack at home, Emma has bought groceries with the borrowed money. Dave lends her money for groceries and advises her to stand up to Martin. Desperate for money and advice, she goes to see her brother, Dave.
Emma acquiesces, but is disturbed by Martin's behavior. Martin argues that the figures are like old friends, and speaks of them as though they are people who need his help. His wife, Emma, is alarmed - they haven't the money to waste on air conditioning now that Martin has no job. Martin insists that he can store them in his basement until there is a buyer, and Ferguson reluctantly agrees.īack at home, Martin has the figures in place, and even spent a large chunk of his meager savings on an air conditioner to keep them at a proper temperature.
Martin is horrified what will become of the waxworks? Ferguson doesn't think there's a market for them, and to melt them down. The museum will close and the building bulldozed to make a supermarket. Martin has worked there faithfully for 30 years, but attendance is slowing, the business is passe, and Ferguson wants to retire.

It’s not even about “Revenge will only make things worse,” even though it does illustrate that and deconstruct some of the relevant tropes pretty thoroughly. But I wouldn’t really say that’s what this is about. That is indeed the basic plot, and Markus does end up using his particular set of skills (mostly shooting) on a whole bunch of people. Then a survivor of the crash tells him it might not have been an accident, so they put together a team of computer experts and try to track down who’s responsible. Markus (a heavily bearded Mads Mikkelsen, VALHALLA RISING) is a soldier pulled off duty in Afghanistan to take care of his teenage daughter Mathilde (Andrea Heick Gadeberg) after his wife (Anne Birgitte Lind) dies in a train crash.

But I know most people won’t do that, so I’ll start by explaining what the movie is and warn you before I get into heavy spoiler stuff to analyze the meaning with those who have seen it.įrom the description on the box this sounds like a straight up revenge movie, which you know I would be down for. So this is one of the reviews where I have to start by suggesting you take my word for it that it’s a truly special movie, stop reading, go watch it, and then come back. It plays off of some genre traditions and themes that interest me, but it feels unlike anything I’ve seen before, and it was exciting to discover that as I watched it. I think RIDERS OF JUSTICE, a Danish film technically released in November 2020, is my favorite movie I’ve seen this year.
