The Order

 

       Based on a true story, this is a somber but gripping drama about the FBI's efforts to stop a white supremacist terrorist group known as "The Order". 

        The year is 1983 and FBI agent Terry Husk (played by a stoic Jude Law) is investigating a rash of bank robberies in the Pacific Northwest. He believes the robberies are being committed by a radical group building a war chest rather than ordinary criminals. Nicholas Hoult is the charismatic leader of "The Order", a radical splinter group from Aryan Nation. The two play a dangerous game of cat and mouse. 

       Co-starring are Tye Sheridan as a local deputy assigned to the manhunt and Jurnee Smollett as a no nonsense FBI agent. Marc Maron also has a small part as radio host Alan Berg.

       This is a tense story made all the more unsettling as you watch, realizing these groups are still out there sowing the seeds of hate across America. One can only hope as our government changes hands that law enforcement will continue to be vigilant and prevent the potential for greater violence.
