What's it about?
Jonas Åkerlund-directed "Horsemen" surprised me with intense storytelling. The Swedish helmer known more for his music video contributions than anything else, engages viewers with strong direction. The film brings out one of Dennis Quaid's best performances to date and showcases the oftentimes softly displayed Ziyi Zhang's talents for quickly changing character and succeeding in multiple genres.
Additionally, the moral of the story is a strong one and makes the film easy to reminisce, something few films achieve these days in an arena swamped with big budget blockbusters like "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." This costs a mere pinpoint in budget comparison and is far more a showcasing of a buffet of talented performers.
Quaid stars as Aidan Breslin, a recently widowed hard-working detective specializing in forensic odontology (see below for a definition) who's left to father two sons - Alex (Pucci) and Sean (Liam James), oftentimes neglecting them due to both his workload and workaholic manor.
The most brutal case comes in which includes a woman who has been murdered in a flesh hook suspension device among others. Zhang comes in as the adopted eldest daughter of the woman who's not all she seems and Breslin soon realizes that there is more than one killer and the biblical four horsemen of the apocalypse come into play.
Who are all of the horsemen, what part do they each play, who are the victims and what is the final moral of the story?
Film easily keeps you guessing and never loosens its tense grip.
I was additionally impressed by "Thumbsucker" Lou Taylor Pucci's performance. In general, the film includes a strong cast who seem to have given their all in this small indie gem.
DVD Features include:
As defined by Wikipedia - Forensic odontology or forensic dentistry is the proper handling, examination and evaluation of dental evidence. Read more on the subject here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_odontology

"Pandorum" looks to scare uat this weekend's box office. The science fiction horror directed by Christian Alvart who co-writes with Travis Milloy, stars Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, Cam Gigandet, Antje Traue, Cung Le, Eddie Rouse, André Hennicke and Norman Reedus.
The film was shot in Berlin, Germany and is rated R. See it on September 25th.
(See all the videos and images in the "Pandorum" group on MovieJungle.com.)
PLOT:
In Pandorum, actors, Dennis Quaid (Vantage Point, The Express) and Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma, Alpha Dog), join Cam Gigandet (Never Back Down, Twilight), Cung Le (Tekken, Fighting), newcomer Antje Traue and director Christian Alvart (Antibodies) to tell the terrifying story of two crew members stranded on a spacecraft who quickly realize they are not alone.
Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It's pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the spacecraft. They can't remember anything - who are they, what is their mission? The only way out of the chamber is a dark and narrow airshaft. Corporal Bower (Foster), the younger of the two, crawls inside, while the other, Lt. Payton (Quaid), stays behind for guidance on a radio transmitter. As Bower ventures deeper and deeper into the ship, he begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft's shocking and deadly secrets come unraveled, and the astronauts realize that the survival of mankind hinges on their actions.
The box office weekend ahead promises a buffet of films looking to satisfy the science fiction, horror and musical fans.
Sony’s “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” continued a strong run in its sophomore weekend at the box office with an estimated $24.6 million grossed from 2,951 venues. Film which features the voice talents of Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Bruce Campbell, Andy Samberg, Mr. T and Bobb’e J. Thompson showed a mere 18% change in compared to last weekend’s $30.3 million take.
Romance “Love Happens” dropped 46.3% in its second weekend with $4.3 million ahead of the rapidly plummeting “Jennifer’s Body” flopper in seventh with $3.5 million.
Two of the most impressive films I’ve seen this year fall into the science fiction genre. The first being the South African “District 9” from Neill Blomkamp and now “Pandorum” under the skilled hand of director Christian Alvart.
