Details

Almost rich, almost thirty, he never lies or cheats, even when his beautiful fiancé orders him around and his ball-busting boss uses threats as motivation. John never makes a sound, eager to do right. Rick Carlson is not. A smooth talking and coercive, Rick turns John's life upside down when he not only moves into his building, but starts working at his competitive law firm.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
deborahjwood This was bad even for a low budget film!!! Why anyone reading this script would want to be in this movie is beyond me - why any investor would invest $2 in this after reading the script is beyond me. Implausible yet predictable from the minute the two men meet at work to the very last second -- a few "weeks in the life of" the office creep and office nerd. With a little work, the script and some character development COULD have salvaged this flick a little.Easy to follow because it's so simple minded - NOT thought provoking unless you enjoy dwelling on the psychosis of others Horrible use of effects with cameras - unpredictable and very unnecessary flashes and repeats only add to the stress you feel of wanting this movie to end.The director/producers would have fared better if they could not afford good sound editing and a decent score to go with silence or some inexpensive royalties to some retro tunes.Super stilted performances - almost like reading lines - I've seen better acting in high school plays.Overall do not waste your time.
belizean This movie was in the top ten of the worst I have seen. It was bad enough I felt the need to write a review to keep other people from wasting their time. The first warning I had from the film was the flickering effect. I spent the first twenty minutes of the film trying to figure out what was wrong with my home theater setup as the screen kept blinking out like a loose video cable. Once I decided that was intentional, I still had a hard time ignoring it. I did find it pretty easy to ignore the plot however. I found myself wanting to wander off during the film. I went to the kitchen for a glass of water but didn't feel the need to pause the DVR. I found myself debating whether or not I should just change the channel. I decided to stick it out to see if there was a really great ending, but no such luck. So, if you do decide to watch and find yourself thinking about changing the channel I say, "GO FOR IT!"
TombRaider09 I was so sure the director Vince Vieluf had been on the cast or crew of 'Requiem for a Dream' because his directorial debut is clearly inspired by it. Although one should understand the word "inspired" more in the sense "ripped-off", but that's just semantics. But whereas Requiem for a Dream was shocking, disturbing, sad and the actors well-directed, Order of Chaos mimics the fast-paced editing, desperation and silly psychotic faces that substance abusers have come to be known for in the movies.So what is Order of Chaos about? It's a one man's crusade against individualism and capitalism obviously written by a person who understands neither and must detest both since this movie is a living testament to mediocrity and unoriginality. In the story, Rick (Ventimiglia) moves into the same building with John (Coiro) who has been medicated his whole life and spends every morning watching news about war, financial crisis, martial law and whatnot. If you already realized why he has been medicated his whole life, then there's no point watching the final two minutes of the film. Regardless, Rick does not only live in the same building, he also takes a position in the same law company, which is headed by Mrs. Craig (Rogers, and employs tax lawyers, who make their day by taking advantage of tax loops. Yes, those capitalists are such dogs!Rick teaches John to be an individual, that is, a jerk, because that is what individualism is about. Right? Anyway, the more of a jerk John becomes under Rick's influence, the crazier he gets and obviously stops taking those antidepressants, which as you know, are a capitalist conspiracy (though the film never explicitly states this). And while Ventimiglia is desperate to make his character work by upping his dirt bag status from the Gilmore Girls era when he played Jess, the rest of the cast lag behind with so poorly directed performances they almost seem silly. As does the film.
niceneasy_86 I think a lot of the reviews I have read are comparing this film to others. In a sense i guess that is what reviewing is, but i think with a film like this the director obviously wasn't trying to make the next blockbuster. I enjoyed the subliminal message. In the club, when john goes to the bathroom he reads some writing on the wall, "911 was an inside job." I didn't get the message the director was trying to convey with this at first. But after finishing the film i came to the conclusion that the message was one of Thinking for yourself. How ever many times this type of movie is made, that message to me is very important. I believe that as a society we have grown far to dependant on the politicians and mass media to tell us everything will be OK. So we stop thinking. I think the message of this film is to open your eyes and see the world from your own perspective...not CNN's perspective.
