The Odyssey comes to an end in an interesting and satisfactory manner as the violence unleashed by the family includes the tormentors of the family, but also the relationship between the husband and wife which had been tumultuously put through a test of distance and time is beautifully restored (here romantic is a very different […]

In director Justin Kurzel’s “The Order,” Jude Law has the scruffiest look of his career. He stars in the film as FBI agent Terry Husk, but considering his portrayal, he seems more of a husk than an agent. He looked disheveled.
