'The Order' review: Jude Law goes freak mode while chasing neo-Nazis

Summary

Nutrition label

69% Informative

The Order depicts the dueling danger and ridiculousness of white supremacy.

The film's success is also owed to Jude Law's central performance as a lonely, no-nonsense cop.

The Order is based on Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt 's late-'80s nonfiction book The Silent Brotherhood .

The Order is Kurzel 's most accomplished piece of filmmaking.

It's a B-movie in the body of a prestigious "issue" drama.

The film's approach to white supremacy is best labeled "utilitarian" Little by way of action or dialogue works to unearth the group's ideology.

The Order seldom slows down, skillfully building to each new action crescendo with the help of Jed Kurzel's rumbling, unrelentingly energetic score.

It may not have anything novel to say about race in America — whether then or now — but its broad reminders of the mechanics of neo-Nazi terror feel mostly justified.
