Biggest Swing

The film dramatically improves from the sluggish Mara storyline to Alex inadvertently becoming the sin-eater, jumping 1.9 points as the plot finally clicks into place.

The Order suffers from an extremely slow and confusing first hour that frustrated many viewers, with the complex mythology and love subplot failing to engage audiences. However, the film builds momentum significantly in its final act, with the sin-eater concept and conspiracy revelations finally paying off in a satisfying conclusion that redeemed the earlier struggles for many reviewers.
