Justin Kurzel’s films explore not just the acts of violence themselves, but the broader societal consequences and connections between historical atrocities and present issues. His latest, The Order, examines the rise of far-right terror movements, echoing the January 6 Capitol attack, illustrating how past violence informs today’s actions, making it a poignant commentary on the ongoing struggle against extremism.
In The Order, Jude Law delivers a compelling performance as Terry Husk, an FBI agent unraveling a series of bank robberies linked to a growing white nationalist threat in the Pacific Northwest during the 1980s. The film combines intense action sequences with a reflective tone, emphasizing the persistence of extremism throughout history and its ramifications on contemporary society.
