I watched The Order. It was a competent film (filmed in Southern Alberta) starring Jude Law as a burned out FBI agent trying to take down a terrorist white supremist group led by a charismatic leader played by Nicholas Hoult.
It was based on a true story and takes place in 1980. Thing of it was... I don't know why you would read the story of it, and think "oh, this should be a movie!"? Jude Law's character was interesting and well played... but never existed. He was an amalgam of a number of other agents. There are action sequences of robberies etc, but because they were factual, they weren't really that interesting to watch.
I didn't know the story, so wasn't certain where it was going. At the end, I just sort of thought... "welp, that was "a" movie. I should go watch Jude Law in something he did that was good... maybe Road to Perdition? Haven't seen that in a while..."
