[Review] The Order (8/10)

 

Title - The Order

Writer - Zach Baylin
Director - Justin Kurzel
Release - 6 December 2024

The Order felt like an awards bait movie but it didn't make any dent in the circuit. It's a very well written movie by Zach Baylin, with a third act that I couldn't predict what would happen in the end. 

It also boasted a stacked cast, with quite a few of British actors; with two great performances from the two British leads in Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult. 

Tye Sheridan once again is showing what a great character actor he can be, and I'm loving these roles in small movies that he's been taking on. 

The movie also had some great cinematography on the scenic views which must have taken some great pains in timing for the perfect sky and clouds. 

I also enjoyed some of the choices director Justin Kurzel made, but also not quite grasping why some of the good guys got so emotional at certain points.
