...as gritty and dirty as it needs to be...

| Apr 17, 2025

Director Justin Kurzel mostly avoids comparison to current events — concentrating on the dissonance of violence among the serene surroundings — but the parallels are unavoidable nonetheless.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 5, 2025

Thinking about how these events of forty years ago have continued to ripple through the US - and into the White House in 2025 - lends The Order a chilling quality.

Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult deliver fantastic performances in The Order, a film that simultaneously breaks our hearts and fills it with terror over and over again.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 27, 2025

A thriller about the steps in crime and police movements that radiates solidity and strength, with which Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult have a lot to do with. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 21, 2025

The Order s a tense thriller, with a solid cast and a pace that keeps the viewer's interest. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 20, 2025

The Order doesn’t deploy any fancy tricks or ingenious twists, in some ways, it’s an old-fashioned throwback. That’s what makes it such a satisfying film. It is exactly what it says it is, and it does it with class and discipline.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 19, 2025

The Order is as tense and visceral as it is timely.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 19, 2025

The film doesn’t work without Law, who’s nearly unrecognizable as the disheveled, on-the-edge sort – his usual British charm and disarming accent are nowhere to be found.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 18, 2025

A potent cocktail of Hell or High Water, Blackkklansman and American History X, with a side order of cat-and-mousery that reminds one of Michael Mann’s Heat, Kurzel’s film grips early and easily keeps you engrossed until its final frames.

Kurtzel expands a series of moral greys without losing the vileness of the supremacists, incredibly elevating a proposal that is already thrilling and powerful in itself, thanks to how he executes the suspense and action. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 7, 2025

In many ways The Order is a run-of-the-mill police procedural about two men on opposite sides of the law, but it keeps the action taut enough, and the violence visceral enough, to make up for the more familiar elements.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 5, 2025

What makes this crime thriller timely is that many considered the concept of a neo-Nazi movement with tacit presidential approval just a fantasy until 1/6/2021 - when Capitol rioters waved copies of 'The Turner Diaries' - and Donald Trump was reelected.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 2, 2025

Visually unremarkable and interspersed with bursts of repetitive action, The Order distinguishes itself through its compelling emphasis on character.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 25, 2025

The look of the movie is evocative of the times and the editing has an immediacy to it. The photography of the rural landscapes is beautiful and haunting.

It feels like a time capsule but is extremely relevant today.

Everyone here is terrific, it's really well done and very compelling, but ultimately -- because I'm so familiar with the story -- it just didn't hit quite as strong as I wanted it to hit.

| Jan 17, 2025

And yet here, as in Kurzel’s other work, you rarely see actual violence. The horror is what lurks inside the characters, the stifling air of rooms where something is rotten.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 15, 2025

The Order may be a bit conventional in certain aspects, but it never ceases to be a gripping and, of course, pertinent film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 14, 2025

Law is at the very top of his game as the seasoned, cynical fed, while Hoult is unsettling and charismatic as the white-power kingpin.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 14, 2025
