Movie Reviews of The Order
Movie Review: A pretty lame attempt at "funny" but o.k. nonetheless.
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, this nothing like Indiana Jones. The only thing the two have in common is that the word "artifact(s)" is brought up in both movies.
The attempt at humor in this film could come off to many as just bad directing/acting/execution. I think maybe some of it would make a 10-13 year old laugh, and while the movie is rated R there is no bad language and nothing more than people getting punched in the face. So don't be afraid to let your youngster see this.
The action is o.k. and the plot is weak. While if you're looking to collect every Jean-Claude Van Damme film out there this review probably won't stop you from buying this. If you are just looking for some good, "Muscles from Brussels" action though I recommend looking else where.
Summary of The Order
Van damme plays rudy cafmeyer a suave character who enters a world of intrigue when he is sent to israel to retrieve two men who have taken his archaeologist father hostage in tel aviv. He searches to uncover a sacred scroll found by his father in jerusalem and conveniently saves the world in the process. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/01/2004 Starring: Jean-claude Van Damme Ben Cross Run time: 89 minutes Rating: R Director: Sheldon LettichJean-Claude Van Damme may never have risen to the top ranks of action stars, but his movies have been consistently enjoyable--partly because they don't take themselves too seriously. In The Order, Van Damme plays a thief of religious artifacts whose archeologist father has found the lost scripture of a mysterious religious order. When the old man is kidnapped, Van Damme soon finds himself cruising around the twisty streets of Jerusalem, getting into dynamic kickboxing battles while disguised as a Hasidic Jew. With the help of a beautiful Israeli cop (Sofia Milos), Van Damme uncovers a plot within the religious order that leads to secret catacombs beneath the holy city. Silly? Perhaps, but directed with vitality and surprising wit. Van Damme is trim and energetic, Milos is engaging, and a cameo by Charlton Heston (!) only adds to the general atmosphere of spunky fun. --Bret Fetzer
