First Glance: “The Order”

Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, and Jurnee Smollett star in “The Order”, a period crime thriller directed by Justin Kurzel. The film is based on the 1989 non-fiction book “The Silent Brotherhood” by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt. The movie premiered in August at the Venice International Film Festival. Now its prepping for its official release by dropping a harrowing and action-packed first trailer.

Set in 1983, the story follows and FBI agent (Law) who assembles a team to help investigate a series of bank robberies and armored car heists across the Pacific Northwest. But rather than find some standard-issue robbers, the agents follow a trail leading to a white supremacist group known as The Order. The movie looks to follow two storylines destined to intersect. And from what we see, both lead to violence. Everything about this looks and sounds great – the cast, the period design, the true-crime element. I can’t wait to see how it comes together.

“The Order” releases in theaters on December 6th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

  1. This looks good. Someone in the comments on its YouTube page said that Nicholas Hoult looks like a young Tom Cruise. He’s better than that. The cast looks awesome.
