The Horseman (2008)
7/10
Good performances but hardly cathartic

Warning: Spoilers
In rural Australia a pest control operative identifies his daughter's body, and finds that she was drugged and abused while making porno movies. He sets out to find and punish all those responsible.

This is a simple revenge story, well made, with a towering central performance from Peter Marshall.

It is also extremely violent (although, perhaps, not particularly graphic - the camera tends to cut away before the moment of impact), highly improbable, and unremittingly sleazy and depressing. I understood what the filmmakers were up to, but I didn't find the end result something to be enjoyed.
