For over a year, a series of bold daylight bank robberies and armored car heists leaves law enforcement baffled and the public panicked throughout the Pacific Northwest. As the attacks become increasingly violent, FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) becomes convinced that the robberies are the work of a domestic terrorist gang that plan to use the loot to finance an armed uprising against the U.S. government. Based on a true story, The Order follows Husk and his team into the tangled world of white supremacists to try to head off a violent uprising that could shatter the nation. As the militia builds a war chest of over $4 million, Husk pursues the malevolent racist Bob Mathews to a final bloody standoff that will go down in U.S. history.

Critics Consensus

A stoic Jude Law and diabolically good Nicholas Hoult turn the tides of history in this grippingly intense thrill ride.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

But the movie is more effective as a grim, involving cop thriller than it is as an ostensible statement on the Order’s reverberations in the present.

Joshua Rothkopf

Los Angeles Times

The potent image-making and performative ferocity turns what could have been a crime thriller into a near-metaphysical showdown.

Observer

A chilling dive into 1980s domestic terrorism, masterfully crafted by Justin Kurzel.

The Film Stage

This is as good as crime thrillers get, a welcome throwback with rich characterization, dimensional turmoil within both the good guys and the bad guys, and properly breakneck set pieces that get the adrenaline going overtime.

Rated: A-

The Contending

(Kurzel) does a grand job here balancing taut character study with edge of your seat thrills, never losing sight of just how insidious hatred is and how easily it can spread.

Rated: B+

Disturbing scenes and subject matter, but great sounds bring the viewer in close. Dogs barking, children crying, wind in the eaves of a house, buzzing fluorescent lights, car engines, draw a clear path right up close to the action. The actors all do a great job making us believe they are really living through the action and taking it hard. Jude Law's voice is lower, gravelly, and American, adding grit to his expressions. The kids from Divergent do a great job, as does Jurnee Smollet playing the hard-edged, no-nonsense FBI part. The music is odd, sometimes disjointed, but only to add moods during the action. Not for the faint, but an important look at the mid-eighties racial and crime tensions.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I liked it until the movie was over and the very last sentence mentioned the “insurrection” on January 6, 2021. I totally disagree with that sentence. It was NOT an “insurrection”. I ended up becoming very angry and immediately left the theater.
