Order of Chaos (2010)

The whole point of the film was to pass on a number of messages, some obvious, others subliminal. The reviewers who have just sat and watched this film in zombie mode and gave a low vote have missed all that. Admitidly it does get a bit slow in some parts but all in all its a very interesting film and well worth a watch ESPECIALLY if you are in the process of waking up! Its well made in the way its mocking the media, us and our lifestyles (well the majority of the flock) If you already know whats really going on in the world its worth a watch, at least you know you there are more people out there who think the same and its one of those films you realise you enjoyed more the next day after you have seen it when you think back

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.

First things first: if it weren't for Sex and the City 2, this would be the worst film of the year.This film actually starts out promising with fast-paced plot progression and unique editing techniques. Ultimately, the movie stalls with nowhere to really go and the editing becomes over zealous. The editing tries to be "new age" but becomes annoying and repetitive. Ultimately, this film turns into a 90 minute long montage of crap that doesn't really make sense. This movie offers no redemption and certainly does not provide any answers. But, looking back, it doesn't offer any meaningful questions to answer in the first place. Skip this one.

Order of Chaos is a mess.It is confusing,It was making me drift off.Granted the total production cost about a million dollars,which today is piddling.I never heard of any cast member, The two men who had the leads seemed to know how to act & I will try to see either one in other roles.It opened in Los Angeles in Feb. 2010 & & was released to DVD in March 2010.It had nice functional sets,BUT did not need the music score.I think I did the required 10 lines.Ratings: ** (out of 4)54 points (out of 100) IMDb 4 (out of 4)
