In Order of Disappearance Reviews
A delirious climax pays homage to '90s thrillers and will leave you with an incredulous smile on your face.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 26, 2021
In Order of Disappearance allows light enough moments to make this more than just a blood-soaked action thriller.
| Original Score: 3.25/5 | Jul 20, 2019
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.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 5, 2019
Moland's In Order of Disappearance is a dark fable played firmly for laughs... A joy to watch.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 3, 2019
Starting with a desperately serious tone that one thinks will set the pace for things to come, In Order of Disappearance grows exponentially wilder and becomes a lot more fun as a result.

This taut, often hilarious, thriller is a stellar example of why Scandinavian cinema continues to impress.

There is some very dark humor in this film. Several funny scenes involve a philosophical gangster who has an interesting theory about the role of average temperature in the efficiency of governments.
| Original Score: B | Jan 16, 2017
Neither the humor nor the drama are strong enough not to feel derivative.

Skarsgard looks good on a snow-plow, though the story itself lacks credibility.
| Original Score: B | Nov 14, 2016
A Euro-trash procedural with precious little on its mind.
| Sep 22, 2016
A Scandinavian splattefest staining the snow-capped mountainsides of an otherwise-breathtaking Norwegian wonderland!
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 12, 2016
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.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 8, 2016
Dark, but exceptionally so, cooking up a tale of comeuppance that highlights sensational Norwegian locations, dimensional characters, and shocking acts of violence, keeping viewers on their toes as this wonderful movie unfolds.
| Original Score: A- | Sep 8, 2016
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.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 8, 2016
Exhibits a scintillatingly savage whimsy.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 2, 2016
In Order of Disappearance is a clever piss-take on the modern revenge genre, and hopefully it won't be dumbed down too much for mainstream American audiences.
| Sep 1, 2016
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.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 1, 2016
Ultimately, the film is carried by Skarsgård in yet another triumph in a Norwegian film.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 31, 2016
Martin McDonagh meets Quentin Tarantino ... yet bristles with its own brand of quirk
| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 31, 2016
