Review of The Order (2003) by Oliver G — 26 Jun 2004

Yesterday I saw Mindhunters at the cinema and I was pretty impressed with it and I think it's the best movie Renny Harlin has done. It's full of suspense, violence, gore and action. The movie takes a lot of turns, sometimes unsuspected and I was in the dark till the end.

Though the one flaw this movie has, once you saw it all the excitement is gone.

I got The Order, Tigerland and Donnie Darko on DVD.

I like The Order a lot. A cool movie, dealing with a mysterious catholic order, secrets of the Vatican and a Sin Eater. Nothing to dislike here. Very exciting!

Heath Ledger does a fine job here in portraying a young priest.

Tigerland is also a good movie. Colin Farell once again shows that he can act and Joel Schumacher made a very controversial movie about the hard training of companies before they went to Vietnam. The movie is very realisitc and intense. I like those kind of military thrillers.

I got Donnie Darko from a friend of mine. Well this movie isn't my style, though Jake Gyllenhaal does a great job, but slow pacing....slow everything.
