The Order Ratings & Reviews
- OdinTheRavenKing7 mei 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.
- MrTrivet2 februari 2026The Order feels like a film straight out of the '80s - atmospheric and stylish. It’s Jude Law who gives it soul with his performance and keeps the narrative in check.
- 0 124 december 2025The Order is a decent film. Maybe 5.5 stars. 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.
- Varun2 januari 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.
- thomasrogers75327 november 2025I remember seeing trailers for this in theaters, I even remember being able to see this in theaters I don’t know why I never treated myself to this movie earlier
- d-harv23 januari 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.
- ThP11 oktober 2025Interesting
- dannyol435 februari 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.
- Bert Redmond23 september 2025Good watch
- Dave Barnes13 september 2025Didn't hold my attention at all.
- hokasu6 juli 2025Vaguely interesting but really felt a bit pointless
- Kevin Ward1 juli 2025As far as true crime thrillers go, this was well done. The heists and robberies are really well constructed and the cast is excellent up and down the call sheet. Hoult is probably the standout performer as an off-shoot neo-nazi leader, Bob Matthews, in the PNW who’s building a revolution with the guidance provided in The Turner Diaries, the “handbook for white victory.” On his tail is seasoned FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) with help from a local deputy, Jamie Bowden (Tye Sheridan). Though, I enjoyed the film quite a bit, I have to say, this film doesn’t really feel as anti-neo-nazi, as I would have liked. The FBI is borderline incompetent and not given much characterization, while Matthews is given a rousing speech where he professes the things they stand for. Intended or not, I came away feeling like it could be a low key recruitment piece. Like in a….” if you recently had your job taken away, you’re fed up with government, and sympathize with Timothy McVeigh and/or the J6ers….I’ve got a book that you need to read” kinda way. I guess in a way this film is similar to Justin Kurzel’s Nitram which I also really liked, but depicts the days leading up to an infamous true life mass murder, and follows the perpetrator of the crime providing a glimpse into his psyche a somewhat sympathetic lens. To be fair, I think the Marc Maron messages as radio host Alan Berg does provide a voice for tolerance, even if that voice is silenced part-way through for…[redacted]. I can’t deny that I enjoyed the watch, though.
- Mrterrytoyou26 juni 2025Fantastic
- burtjohanson14 februari 2025Some really strong performances from Law, Hoult, and Sheridan here. Script/writing felt a bit jumpy at times but still a really fascinating story that is acted out convincingly.
- Spoons8 februari 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.
