This is simply a good movie.
There are three primary actors - Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult and Tye Sheridan and all three of them give a standout performance. Everyone else is just fillers compared to how they carry the movie.
It is based on a true story that occurred in the 1980s by a white supremacist 'The Order".
No the movie is not about racism, it does not talk about it pretty much at all. And that is good, because that would get in the way of the story that happened - it is what is interesting.
It is a crime-thriller, and as one it is not to be missed.

I watched yesterday afternoon. Jude Law was great. Worth watching.
 
I just watched this movie a few days ago.

I am becoming more and more impressed with Jude Law's acting. Unfortunately, he has a bad habit of picking some real shit movies to participate in.

This is not one of those. This is a great movie.

I followed the exploits of The Order in real time in the 80s, and this movie is pretty faithful to the actual events which transpired.

Some events in the film were changed or composited for dramatic effect. I would give specific examples, but that would spoil the movie for anyone who has not seen it yet.

However, the movie does a good job of capturing how everything went down.

What I like about Jude Law is he doesn't overact like so many of his peers. He is absorbed into the character and plays it straight.

There is one moment when his character loses his shit in the car, and it looks like Law may have actually hurt himself. But not even this was overacting. It was exactly how a normally low-key person in a high-adrenaline moment would have behaved.

Don't miss this movie.
