THE ORDER MOVIE REVIEW
Bank robberies, car heist, a disappearance, a terrible work of fiction called The Turner Diaries…What connects them? An offshoot Aryan Nation group calling themselves The Order. The film The Order tells the story of FBI Agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) investigating the rise of a Nazi militia led by young charismatic second generation bigot-boy Bob Mathews (Nicholas Hoult) in the way back time of 1983-84. It wasn’t all kids on bikes, hair bands, and sewer clowns back then, kids. Sometimes evil lurked in broad daylight carrying a message of hope wrapped in fear with instructions for violence. If Terry is going to safely infiltrate the locals and dig up some dead bodies, he’ll have to befriend bright eyed family man Jamie Bowen (Tye Sheridan). Meanwhile Bob gathers men, money, and armaments for his six stage plan to take over the government and fulfill the promise of his grand delusions. Bradly, Frank, and Drew feel young again discussing the early 80’s and recognize the film’s reverent focus on the pacific northwest’s violent history. Bradly shoots down the worship of charismatic leaders while ironically praising Jude Law while Frank and Drew shout out Marc Maron’s powerful performance of real life martyr and radio personality Alan Berg.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
Drew Tinnin (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Deliberations of Doom)
Drew Tinnin is a Rondo Award nominated interviewer and critic who has worked at SiriusXM’s Fangoria Radio and Fangoria magazine in NYC, as well as the London-based Dazed Digital. Currently a regular contributor to the Dread Central Network, he’s excited to join up with some old friends and other film fans on One of Us as a new contributor to Screener Squad.
