BASED ON THE CHILLING TRUE STORY.

In 1983, FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) arrives in an Idaho town investigating a disappearance and several robberies with ties to white supremacists.

After Nitram (2021), where Justin Kurzel was inspired by the story behind a 1996 massacre in Tasmania, he turned his attention to a neo-Nazi terror group for an action-thriller that serves as a warning to those who try to dismiss what inspired people who participated in the January 6th Capitol attack.

Conventional to some degree, with Law’s tortured agent playing a cat-and-mouse game with Nicholas Hoult’s fanatical criminal – but well-acted, grim and exciting, with good location work in Alberta.

2024-Canada. 116 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Justin Kurzel. Screenplay: Zach Baylin. Book: Kevin Flynn, Gary Gerhardt (”The Silent Brotherhood”). Cast: Jude Law (Terry Husk), Nicholas Hoult (Bob Mathews), Tye Sheridan (Jamie Bowen), Jurnee Smollett, Alison Oliver, Marc Maron.

Trivia: Co-produced by Kurzel and Law. The Order were also depicted in the TV movie Brotherhood of Murder (1999).

Last word: “I just remember watching [the January 6th] event and then also seeing some of the photographs and imagery that were coming in from the day. And I saw these rope props, these nooses, that were being used as props and thought, it couldn’t be. And it was. There were these kind of expressions of one of the chapters in the book, ‘Day of the Rope’. Then there were reports of the copies of ‘The Turner Diaries’ being around at that event as well. So, I was pretty amazed by the reach of that book and the fact that it had been stealth-like sitting in the shadows for some time.” (Kurzel, Deadline)
