Critics Consensus

Led by Stellan Skarsgård's hangdog charm, In Order of Disappearance is a wintry thriller with satisfying intelligence -- and more than a few dark laughs.

Tirdad Derakhshani

Philadelphia Inquirer

Swift, fleet-of-foot, and efficient, with clean lines and a sleek finish, the Norwegian black comedy In Order of Disappearance glides through the world like a perfectly engineered car or a gorgeous piece of modern furniture.

Rated: 3.5/4

Peter Keough

Boston Globe

Combines black comedy with the dour, humorless mood of Nordic noir - two elements that are not, for Moland at any rate, as complementary as one might expect.

Rated: 2.5/4

Michael O'Sullivan

Washington Post

What saves it, paradoxically - even, at times, delightfully - from skidding off course into cliche is the profound appeal of its middle-of-the-road, but never dull, protagonist.

Rated: 3/4

Dan Brightmore

NME (New Musical Express)

A delirious climax pays homage to '90s thrillers and will leave you with an incredulous smile on your face.

Rated: 4/5

Spectrum Culture

In Order of Disappearance allows light enough moments to make this more than just a blood-soaked action thriller.

Rated: 3.25/5

The film shoots for Fargo and winds up with Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead. Shoulda made that left turn at Truth or Consequences, N.M.

Rated: 2/5

The Norwegian title Kraftidioten means "The Moron" whilst the English title suggests a cheekier take to the body count marked by a death card with name and his religious symbol in this frigidly comedic and supercool Fargo-esque revenge drama about a bereaved snowplow driver bent on avenging the death of his son in the underworld gang warfare.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A slick and entertaining black humoured thriller. Slightly one-note by the rather contrived ending, but a good film.

Gianmarco R

Really very nice and particular movie with a plot that makes you think as well as entertain and at times entertain for some parts a bit absurd and some conjunction of slightly strange characters. The whole film, however, always maintains a very harsh and austere atmosphere that makes it very special.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Gentle paced. Starts off as a gangster flick then gradually you realise you're watching a dark, dark comedy. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
