Plots(1)
Shortly after loosing his daughter to a drugs overdose, Christian receives a horrifying tape of her performing in an amateur porn film. Enraged and unable to come to terms with what he has seen, he sets out to track down those involved. Using his own unique brand of brutal and inventive questioning, he moves closer to locating the final suspect. Along the way, he reluctantly picks up Alice - an awkward young runaway - and an unlikely bond develops that pushes Christian closer to the edge than ever. A multi-award winning Australian movie that mixes elements of 8mm with the graphic reality of Wolf Creek, The Horseman is an unflinching study of revenge and retribution. Powerful and intense, it memorably explores how one man deals with loss and his own inner demons. (Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment)

Basically, I fully agree with Pedestrian. That said, this film is not only something I didn’t like, but also something that managed to royally piss me off. In every exploitation film it is absolutely crucial to establish a bond between the protagonist and the viewer, who must understand the motivations, feel the pain and the humiliation, and share the desire for revenge. The Horseman has none of that, the protagonist reacts so unpleasantly that any reasonable person will categorically refuse to root for him. A lousy film unworthy of anybody’s time.

A wonderfully gritty, dirty and minimalist revenge flick with a typically nasty Australian vibe. Yes, I enjoyed it.
