Product Description

Product Description

Alex Bernier (Heath Ledger) is a member of an arcane order of priests who is sent to Rome to investigate the mysterious death of the head of this order. The body may be of a Sin Eater, a renegade who offers absolution, last rites and therefore a path to heaven outside the jurisdiction of the church. Alex enlists the aid of his old comrade Father Thomas and of a troubled artist (Shannyn Sossamon) upon whom he once performed an exorcism. He soon finds himself plunged directly into the face of unimaginable evil, murder, and ultimately, a fate worse than death. The Order will find you!

Bien que le film soit un excellent suspense, le film n'a pas été très populaire en 2003. Heath Ledger joue un rôle remarquable dans la peau d'un prêtre, le père Alex Bernier. Il devra investiguer sur des différents crimes de nature occultes se produisant à Rome. Il découvrira l'Ordre: Un rituel qui libère les prêtres avant de mourir, peut importe les fautes qu'ils auront commises.

Bon suspense qui concerne l'occultisme, la magie.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Fate Worse Than Death July 18 2004
Format:DVD
Writer/director Brian Helgeland and actor Heath Ledger, first teamed up for the enjoyable mideval romp, A Knight's Tale. For their second film together, called The Order, things get a whole lot darker and much less enjoyable.

Father Alex Bernier (Ledger) is a conflicted, rather rebellious priest, who is asked to travel to Rome to investigate the strange death of his mentor. The young priest's investigation leads him to suspect that the death was the work of the Sin Eater, an ancient figure who plays God on earth by absolving the unforgivable sins outside the Church, allowing great evil to go unpunished.

Designed as a thriller, The Order sets up more like the Bible, written in Latin, that you, as the viewer, have to translate in order to understand what's going on. It's a shame that the movie is all atmosphere and no substance. Not even the casting of Peter Weller, who's always good--even if the film is not, can save the movie. Many other faces from A Knights Tale are back, making the film seem like it has potential, but that strategy falls flat too. The thrills and chills are few and far between. I was bored folks.

The audio commentary from Helgeland is ok for what it's worth. But it's hard to relish the making of stuff as much, if the film is sub-par, at best. The DVD extras also include a series of "unrated" deleted scenes that wouldn't have made a difference, if they made it in the final cut. You can also watch a series of dailies, or rough footage, as well. Both the deleted scenes and the dailies are fashioned with optional director's commentary. The theatrical trailer tops off the bonus material on the disc. If you do decide to watch The Order at all, you can do so, in either the full-screen or widescreen formats.

My suggestion: Order up A Knights Tale instead of this rag-tag disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars An actually interesting movie. July 17 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Most people did not like this movie, well I understand why. This movie is a bit complecated and artsy so to say :P, but i understood it as a movie in witch you were not supposed to really be scared but instead you should put your self in the shoes of the characters and try to see the world the way they do. Good and Evil nothing more then a bar like place were demons and priests fight, priests with there power of exorcism, and demons with there demonic powers. Its a weird flick ill say that. VERY WEIRD, but i cant deny i dug it.....i mean if you look at it.....in this world of demons vs priests you could say the Sin Eater was like the inbetween guy someone who played outside of the rules, and yet was interesting in the reason for what he did. Nothing more then a man who wants to give redemption for those who cant get it anywere else, In the movie its not Gods fault good people go to hell but its the fault of the church that is not perfect so you could say the sin eater was a fale safe kind of thing for the world.......ok im done sounding like a moron thanks :P

3.0 out of 5 stars An okay movie!
This is a good movie in a weird way, but most of it is too boring with a stupid plot. You see it once and then you don't want to see it again. Read more

I have recently purchased this movie,and all I can say is that it deserved the money. It is a suspensufull and very neatly done thriller. I should have seen it at the theater too.
