Mark Kermode reviews The Order - Kermode and Mayo's Take

#MarkKermode #SimonMayo #filmreviews

A series of bank robberies and car heists frightened communities in the Pacific Northwest. A lone FBI agent believes that the crimes were not the work of financially motivated criminals, but rather a group of dangerous domestic terrorists.

The scene where the camera was in the door of the car and revealing the fate of the character sitting in it when he opens it was magical. I will remember it forever.

Really enjoyed this one. Glad to see these kind of movies are still being made.

I lived through this on the edge of it. They set a vehicle on fire on the edge of our town as a warning; intimidation by announcement. It was frightening as it was the enemy within.

Solid film, really enjoyed it. I needed a pallette cleanser after watching the substance!

I thought Jude Law was cracking in this. Bit of Hackman, bit of Brando. Very subtle performance and the dude just gets better looking with age....

If they ever made a movie that required a younger Tom Cruise (a Collateral prequel; or a new film that had shifting timelines), Nicholas Hault would be a great pick. He really does look like him at 1:50.

I love this director and his precious films. This one didn’t hit like the others for reasons I can’t narrow down. Maybe it’s bigger story than he usually makes and told from a different (Law’s) perspective overall? Good but not as great/disturbing as Snowtown or Nitram.

It was terrible. Cliched with poorly fleshed out characters. Some of the acting and scenarios were so bad I was laughing at it.
