When he notices a lot of White Supremacist flyers in town he pulls out the one relating to the large compound nearby where the 'Aryan Nation' live. Speaking to the local Sheriff's office they reckon they keep themselves to themselves and aren't a problem. Later a Deputy Bowen (Tye Sheridan) takes him aside and says he thinks they're quietly up to a great deal of illegal activity including counterfeiting. The Deputy has been making a dossier of seemingly unrelated crime that he thinks fits a pattern.
No good will come of this.
CW: white supremacy, antisemitism, Nazi symbols, salutes and language; the whole gamut of this stuff
This dramatisation of a nonfiction book on the activities of an 80s White Supremacist group is really solidly put together. Directed in a very unsensational way by Justin Kurzel its down to earth style makes it really hold your attention. While obviously not a documentary it has a real "this could have happened" feel. Only for a few minutes at the end does Jude Law indulge in some ridiculous action movie heroics.
The Order's charismatic young leader Bob (Nicholas Hoult) is similarly unshowy; only at one point do we get a fiery speech.
Good work from all involved especially Tye Sheridan and I think the only disappointment is that Jurnee Smollett's FBI agent gets a bit sidelined for dramatic "Law & Sheridan are the heroes" reasons.
A very solid bit of mid-budget straightforward drama that's head and shoulders above other stuff that gets fast-tracked to streaming 8/10.
