The Horseman (2008)
2/10
Satisfying low budget 'Taken' until the last 3rd.

If the filmmakers intent was to negate all the satisfying revenge taking on people that deserve it by what happens to an innocent that doesn't, congratulations... you succeeded.

I love a hardboiled revenge tale, but if you are going to make a comment on the genre you better make it work. Having your main character cause the same thing that happened to his daughter to another girl (Except she was actually innocent) which is the whole point of his getting revenge is a great way to turn your audience against him, as well as the film as a whole.

If that was the intention, great. You got to have your cake and eat it too.
