0:03
okay Allan let's talk about the order
0:06
this film stars Nicholas Holt and Jude
0:12
uh based in some reality
0:16
here the premise is is built on a book
0:22
real uh Allan tell us about the order
0:26
all right the order takes place in 1983
0:29
where uh uh Idaho based I'm reading this
0:31
off Wikipedia Idaho based uh agent spots
0:34
uh pattern in recent bank robberies but
0:37
these are not your normal bank robbers
0:39
guys who just want cash for the sake of
0:41
cash but these are white supremacists
0:44
the FBI agent is uh Terry husk played by
0:47
Jude Law and his partner Joanne played
0:50
by joury Smet and the bad guys is Bob
0:53
Matthews played by Nicholas who is uh
0:56
forming a uh basically a white
0:59
supremacist order and they need money to
1:01
buy to buy weapons in order to do some
1:04
really bad things uh and so it's up to
1:07
the FBI to hunt down and track the the
1:10
uh the bad guys um and Jude Law um he
1:16
transforms himself in this movie he's
1:19
got into an American yes yeah yeah an
1:22
FBI cop stash he's dealing with health
1:26
issues he he his whole body I like when
1:31
actors uh like Jude Law will walk
1:34
different than they do as other
1:36
characters the his walk is different he
1:39
has lived some life he is just very
1:44
different Nicholas Holt
1:46
also like in he like I mean you know
1:50
he's in the Mad Max Fury Road movie you
1:54
know as a war boy and very different
1:57
he's he's gonna play Lex Luthor he's was
2:02
X-Men yeah yeah Nicholas he's he's
2:05
um you know he's in naratu which you and
2:09
I have seen we'll talk about very soon
2:11
um I love Nicholas Holt I think he's
2:14
great so two Powerhouse performances in
2:17
this film so and uh the premise of it
2:22
basically taking down these group of
2:24
white supremacists are knocking off
2:26
Banks and getting money so they can
2:28
overthrow the government
2:30
that's the ultimate plan and they have a
2:32
plan and there's this novel that kind of
2:35
explains how it could be done that's
2:38
real okay so so it's a I think it's a
2:45
thriller top-notch performances that
2:48
turns into almost a heat likee rivalry
2:51
between Nicholas Holt's character and
2:53
Jude laws so um it kind of ruins it
2:58
though because you know what I'm gonna
3:01
say so I I'm all in this thing I'm like
3:04
oh it's it's action it's thrilling it's
3:09
it's dark it's like a a a crime Thriller
3:14
they're trying to like stop these bank
3:16
robberies but there's more to it than
3:18
that and then it turns into I'm sorry to
3:23
say a little lecture about January 6th
3:26
at the end now it was only at the end if
3:29
you l Lally stop reading the credits
3:32
don't watch the credits a very good
3:34
movie but a little thing about like this
3:38
remember these dangers this could
3:42
happen so it bugged me that it went that
3:45
way but up until that an eight out of 10
3:49
for me knock it down because of that
3:52
because I don't need to be I can think
3:55
for myself I can draw my own conclusions
3:59
I can look at this as an isolated thing
4:03
and and that it it was uh you know
4:06
certainly more of a threat than uh
4:10
sure but it really like the World
4:13
building the crime drama stuff I mean it
4:17
sort of it doesn't quite reach the
4:19
height of heat but it but it it gets
4:22
close and I like the performances a lot
4:25
Jude Law and Nicholas
4:27
Holt even though they're not on screen a
4:30
lot together they're amazing so it still
4:34
gets a recommend with a you know I
4:37
groaned when I saw it I knew where it
4:39
was gonna go I predicted but I I did
4:43
enjoy it enough to recommend it Allan
4:45
what did you think of the order yeah I
4:47
don't think I enjoyed it as much as you
4:49
it was okay um I felt like it was a bit
4:52
by the Numbers uh you're right in this
4:55
in that Jude Law and Nicholas Holt are
4:57
very good in this movie yeah
5:01
like you know it's like if if I go on my
5:04
shelf you know there's going to be
5:06
Mississippi Burning there's going to be
5:07
a time to kill I just can't see myself
5:10
putting the order up next to those and
5:12
and be a movie that I'm gonna watch a
5:14
lot like I have the other two um and and
5:19
you know it it just seems like it was a
5:21
fairly by the book story that we've seen
5:24
this before and it's just this overlay
5:26
of of 80s white supremacy which quite
5:30
frankly I didn't see a whole lot of in
5:31
the 80s but you know I lived in
5:33
California at the time um so
5:37
it yeah I'm okay with the movie I'm just
5:40
not gonna give it a glowing
5:42
recommendation uh I've seen Mo I've seen
5:45
a lot of movies like this that I had fun
5:47
with and that's just going to fall in
5:48
that category well the thing that put it
5:51
over the top for me were the
5:52
performances uh I think Jude Law is just
5:55
and also having seen Jude Law in
5:59
completely different thing yeah like I
6:02
mean he's so different between the two
6:05
roles so I liked it better but again I
6:08
groaned at the end when the the movie
6:13
need not a spoiler felt the need in the
6:16
postm movie text to lecture about the
6:21
dangers of the now I don't think this is
6:24
much of a is as much of a problem as
6:27
people are making it out to be I think
6:29
it's being used for nefarious purposes
6:32
for propaganda so um that that it that
6:36
it feels the need to you know
6:38
editorialize at the end don't
6:41
editorialize just tell a story that's
6:44
all you need to do and I felt the story
6:47
they told was very good then they needed
6:51
editorialize huge mistake knocks it down
6:55
for me I mean I I'll counter that in
6:57
this in in in this way uh I don't think
7:00
it was conspiratorial I think it was
7:03
what I'm learning now is that a lot of
7:05
my left leaning friends just believe
7:08
that everyone thinks that January 6 was
7:11
was as bad as they think it was uh and
7:14
so therefore everyone agrees with me
7:16
that January 6 was an awful event so I'm
7:19
gonna make this movie because I'm gonna
7:21
capture I'm gonna ride that wave with
7:23
this movie and um and so I'm going to
7:26
you know it comes close to those ideas
7:28
and then I'll just throw in an actual uh
7:30
connection to January 6 at that point um
7:33
so I I don't think it was conspiratorial
7:35
I think it was just misguided uh
7:41
rhetoric all right so Allan what are
7:44
your final thoughts do you recommend the
7:46
order uh barely yes I recommend it a
7:49
little more than you but for me seven
7:55
10 say we haven't seen a sorry we
7:58
haven't seen an action through like this
7:59
in a while yeah so I like the tone I
8:02
like the way it was shot it looks
8:05
beautiful so a well-earned seven out of
8:08
10 knockdown because you're I don't need
8:12
a lecture I just need a good story
