In this somber thriller, ‘Horsemen’ tackles dark themes with a heavy tone that might not resonate with all viewers, but offers a decent experience for fans of the genre. Dennis Quaid’s portrayal of a grieving detective adds depth to a plot that intertwines personal loss with a macabre mystery. However, the film struggles with pacing and some plot elements that might leave viewers wanting more cohesion and thrill.
