The Order came out in theaters on the first weekend of December, aka the dumping ground between the mega-blockbusters of Thanksgiving and the mega-blockbusters of Christmas. So it probably won’t be on the big screen for much longer! But if you’re in the mood for a bleak, based-on-a-true-story crime thriller as the mercury plummets and the wind starts whipping, then you may just want to check out Jude Law as a weary FBI agent hunting down Nicholas Hoult as an ambitious white supremacist terrorist. (Marc Maron also pops up as an outspoken radio host!) It’s a worthwhile watch if you want to reckon with the most portentous corners of society.

To sum it all up, I’d like to paraphrase my own headline: all I want for Christmas is for the world to be cured of neo-Nazism.
