and his glorious mustache are finding success on streaming, with the actor’s critically acclaimed crime thriller from last year now climbing the worldwide
charts.
, which finds Law starring as a world-weary FBI agent in this true story about one man’s fight against a white supremacist terrorist group, is now ranking #2 in Prime Video’s global top 10 as audiences tune in to watch this modern thriller masterpiece.

Inspired by a real-life chilling event recounted in the book “The Silent Brotherhood: The Chilling Inside Story of America’s Violent, Anti-Government Militia Movement” by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, “The Order” is being hailed as one of the top films of last year. Directed by Justin Kurzel, who has previously impressed with movies like “Macbeth” starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard (as well as the less successful adaptation of the video game “Assassin’s Creed”), “The Order” features Jude Law as FBI agent Terry Husk and Nicholas Hoult as neo-Nazi leader Bob Mathews. The cast also includes Tye Sheridan, Jurnee Smollett, Alison Oliver, Odessa Young, and Marc Maron. For more information on the plot of “The Order”, you can read its official synopsis below.

“For over a year, a series of bold daylight bank robberies and armored car heists leaves law enforcement baffled and the public panicked throughout the Pacific Northwest. As the attacks become increasingly violent, FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) becomes convinced that the robberies are the work of a domestic terrorist gang that plan to use the loot to finance an armed uprising against the U.S. government.

Drawing inspiration from real events, “The Order” delves into the complex web of white supremacist groups, as protagonist Husk and his associates strive to prevent a devastating insurrection. With their war chest swelling to over $4 million, the militia poses a significant threat to national stability. In this tense narrative, Husk tracks down the sinister racist, Bob Mathews, leading to a climactic, historically notorious confrontation.

‘The Order’ Was Met With Critical Acclaim

Following its premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it was met with a prolonged 10-minute standing ovation, the movie “The Order” has now amassed an extremely impressive rating of 92% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and 89% from viewers on Popcornmeter. MovieWeb’s critic, Mark Keizer, commended “The Order,” with a special mention going to Jude Law’s outstanding leading role.

In a remarkably subtle portrayal, Jude Law excels at understating his character, FBI agent Terry Husk. His investigation into a string of Idaho robberies in 1983 unexpectedly exposes an extremist Aryan Nation faction planning for a race war.

Initially, Alexander Harrison from Screen Rant gave the crime thriller “The Order” an almost perfect score of 4 out of 5. He praised the film for delving into a realm of violence, regardless of one’s allegiance to the law, stating that the portrayed scenes could instill a loathsome existence within viewers. Furthermore, he noted that Justin Kurzel’s “The Order” serves as a warning and leaves us with a shivering feeling that the depicted events may still be unfolding or possibly never cease. On the other hand, Ross Bonaime of Collider found “The Order” to be alarmingly familiar, ultimately concluding that it is a strong crime drama that occasionally strikes a nerve, but this is what makes it so frightening.
