Where to Watch The Order
- OdinTheRavenKingMay 7, 2026## Synopsis After bank robberies, car heists, and bombings in the Pacific Northwest, an FBI agent works with local police to find the criminals that are causing this. Little does he know that he is walking into something much larger than expected. ## Review I didn't realize this was based on a true story. I am pretty sure it is heavily dramatized, but it does tell a story that make sense. Especially after reading [[Code Name Pale Horse]]. People just living their way, thinking they are owed. Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, and Tye Sheridan were the best thing in this show. Jude and Nicholas were outstanding really pushing you to believe they were their characters. The both lead commanding performances. I really enjoyed watching them. The story is good, and it is presented very well. However, I think there are a lot of problems with pacing and explaining how the group was so splintered from the main group. That really is my chief complaint. I have so many questions. ## [My Rating] I wish I had more to say. The scenery is so beautiful. If I didn't see it as too remote for my job, I'd be more inclined to move there. I digress though and will tell you that it is an interesting movie to discuss how domestic terrorism can grow without people noticing. As for the movie, it was interesting which is the best word I have to describe it. Somewhat entertaining, but not enough that I was excited to finish it. I am giving this a 7. ## [Parental Rating] Language and violence. There is some graphic gun shot wounds. There was also a general disrespect and dismissal of woman across the board. I think I can confidently say that both my parents would not watch this. Rejected by both.
- VarunJanuary 2, 2025Formulaic and boring with an uninteresting by the books investigation. I’ll give it a bit of slack for being based on a true story and it was also nice seeing Jude Law play this kind of role. The movie did a good job depicting the domestic terrorism of white supremacy. But I’ve seen this kind of movie so many times before, it really does nothing new.
- d-harvJanuary 23, 2025Great potential, but at the end there was a message about domestic terrorism that used the January 6th protests and the Oklahoma bombing in the same context. Whoever decided to add this message at the end had propagandist intent. There is no comparison between these two events. These same people who still call January 6th domestic terrorism will tell you the people who tried to burn down court houses and tore down statues were just peaceful protesters.
- dannyol43February 5, 2025Justin Kurzel nails it every time! Two of the best performances of 2024. Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult got overlooked big time for this. You know the whole time what the ending is going to be, but your eyes are glued to the screen regardless. Also, this really makes me want to visit the PNW.
- 0 1December 24, 2025The Order is a decent film. But it feels like a missed opportunity. The script was underdeveloped with no memorable dialogue. Nicholas Hoult and Victor Slezak largely carry the movie. It also never works as a thriller because of the lack of investigation, mystery, fear in the script and cinematography. You know what's going to happen before it unfolds. The symbolism of not killing the moose might of been one of the few thoughtful scenes in the film. The Dancer Upstairs (2002) is also a political thriller but is a far stronger film: better script, stronger performances, more compelling action sequences, and greater historical accuracy, more fear and investigation.
- SpoonsFebruary 8, 2025The Order delivers a gripping, if familiar, procedural narrative, elevated by strong performances and breathtaking scenery. While it doesn’t stray far from the conventions of the genre, it’s the underlying historical context and unsettling modern parallels that make it linger in your mind long after the credits roll. Jude Law brings gravitas to his role as a determined FBI agent investigating a series of violent crimes tied to a far-right extremist group. He’s all furrowed brows, tense silences, and the kind of man who’s seen too much to be surprised but can’t stop himself from caring. Law’s performance anchors the film, offering a steady, brooding presence that contrasts sharply with Nicholas Hoult’s role as the antagonist—the selfish, single-minded leader of the militant faction. Hoult leans into his character’s ruthless obsession with his mission, showing little regard for those around him. His portrayal is chilling not because of any charm, but because of his cold, unwavering infatuation with his cause. Visually, The Order is stunning. The cinematography captures sweeping landscapes and stark urban decay with equal skill, creating a world that feels both beautiful and oppressive. It’s a fitting backdrop for a story that’s as much about the setting’s history as it is about the characters within it. The film’s foundation in true events from the 1980s adds a chilling layer, especially when considering the rise of fascist ideologies today. From the echoes of January 6th to disturbing cultural nods like Elon Musk’s on-stage Nazi salutes and MMA fighters casually revising history to suggest “Hitler wasn’t too bad.” The Order serves as a stark warning, reminding us that the horrors of the past are not as distant as we’d like to believe. It’s a sobering reflection on how certain subcultures and political groups continue to perpetuate these dangerous ideologies. While the film might not reinvent the wheel, its timely relevance and strong performances make it a must-watch for those interested in stories where history’s dark shadows stretch into the present. A solid, visually striking procedural that packs a punch with its historical resonance and timely warnings, even if it doesn’t break new ground narratively. If you like modern cop noir movies like Zodiac, Seven, True Detective or Wind River then this is for you.
