This movie is made and set like a year or 2 before the book 2024's The Order would pull its source material from and by golly they're the same god damn movie. Not in a plagiarism kind of way, but Frankenhiemer is hitting on something in this film that was clearly in the air now and Kurzel is hitting on something very eerily similar and larger scale with that very same subject matter nearly 30 years on. Frankenhiemer knows what he's doing with the lens and Don Johnson's got just the right amount of presence to lead this as well as he does.
