The Order is a new crime thriller film directed by Justin Kurzel and written by Zach Baylin, based on the 1989 non-fiction book The Silent Brotherhood starring Jude Law.
Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult’s new true-crime thriller, ‘The Order’ received a near 10-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday night.
The film is based on Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt’s non-fiction book The Silent Brotherhood: The Chilling Inside Story of America’s Violent, Anti-Government Militia Movement and is set for a December release (with the sixth being cited) in the US, with Prime Video overseeing the film’s international release.
“The Order”, a movie about a violent, white supremacist movement in 1980s America and is worryingly relevant today and shows the need to be on constant guard against bigotry, the film’s star Jude Law said on Saturday.
The movie, made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday and is based on true events, depicting the charismatic, radical-right leader, Bob Mathews, who wanted to create a homeland for whites by sowing terror in the United States.
Initial reviews for The Order
The initial batch of reviews for the movie following the Venice premier are largely positive.
Hollywood Reporter: "The Order is the kind of tense reflection on American violence that Hollywood rarely puts on the big screen anymore".
Screen Daily: "There are conventional elements to this story, but also a level of craft that keep the proceedings reliably taut — especially when Kurzel unleashes another excellent chase sequence or shootout".
Daily Beast: "A history lesson that compensates for a lack of breakneck thrills with ominous timeliness."
Time Out: "A brooding, muscular FBI procedural that occasionally explodes into Point Break-y action, Aussie director Justin Kurzel’s true-life thriller delves, pungently and topically, into the inner workings of white nationalism in America before deciding that squealing tyres and shootouts are a lot more fun".
