Crime thriller with 93% on Rotten Tomatoes is on TV tonight

Based on a true story, the film received only a brief, limited cinema release but is airing on TV tonight.

His peace is shattered, however, when a young Idaho cop (Tye Sheridan, Ready Player One) alerts him to his suspicion that a local missing person's case and a series of robberies and bombings are all linked.

As it turns out, these crimes are being organised by Bob Matthews (Nicholas Hoult, The Menu), the leader of a neo-Nazi terrorist organisation. He is planning to use the money from the group's heists to finance an armed uprising against the US government.

Based on true events, The Order is the type of movie they don't make enough of anymore: an exciting, gripping adult-focused crime thriller with a sociological edge.

Kurzel's muscular direction and the cat-and-mouse game that develops between Law's frazzled agent and Hoult's cold-as-ice thief and killer recalls Michael Mann's Heat.

This is before a haunting final title card ties the events of the movie directly to the present day.

The Order is airing on TV tonight on BBC Two at 11pm.
