Order of Chaos

I had no idea what to expect when I sent to a screening of this film. I was drawn in at the beginning but I slowly lost interest.

The sound design and music gave me a headache. It wasn't until the credits that I saw that the writer/director also composed all of the music. Ugh.

The director was tried too hard to be artistic by manipulating the film and putting in random,red herring flashes.

Rhys Coiro was great, but the movie is mediocre.

For what it is, Order of Chaos is well made and compelling at times. The ending sucks.

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!"

Yes, this is a low budget film with little dialog. Milo Ventimiglia is an underrated but extremely talented actor and I think he made the film. If you haven't seen it yet, watch Pathology.

Rhys Coiro was adequate - but as for the American Psycho reference he is no Christian Bale and this is no American Psycho. That particular film is pure brilliance, whereas this is just an interesting character study. If I am engrossed in enough in a film that I can't stop watching and get completely wrapped in the main character I consider it a good film.

I did and this is, I liked the music - both the style of the music and the use in the film. I actually believe that in this movie less dialog was better, but I didn't find it completely predictable - I wasn't really sure what was going to happen at the end. I might have ended it differently or perhaps had more twists but overall I thought it was a solid film with solid acting. It's worth the 90 minutes of your time.

In all fairness, it adds up to an almost mediocre B-movie. Predictable plot and storyline. Underdog meets new friend with ulterior motives and so on. The completely out of place soundtrack, over kill of random flashes, slow motion and effects kill what ever is left which wasn't much to begin with. The producer makes his 1st movie adding his own bands music which thoroughly runs this feature in the ground. In an effort to hide the empty storyline it just use all the effects available. A predictable uninteresting film without depth leaning on soap opera acting performances. A far too long pompous music video with the sole purpose of promoting the directors own band. Why did Mimi risk being seen in something this atrocious anyway? Why Mimi? Why?!

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.
