The Order (2024) review

In the early 1980s, a group of White Supremacists, with Bob Mathews (Nicholas Hoult) as their charismatic "leader," robbed banks, bombed various establishments (adult movie theatres, synagogues) and murdered Jewish radio host Alan Berg (Marc Maron), so FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law), with assistance from inexperienced police officer Jamie Bowen (Tye Sheridan) and fellow Fed Joanne Carney (Jurnee Smollett), set out to stop to them, with Mathews eventually meeting his fate in a burning house on Washington state's Whidbey Island.  The main focus of New Zealander Kurzel's directorial output to date has been murderers and this is no different, but it's really a message about "Emperor #47's America" in which fringe hate groups (like the Proud Boys) are acknowledged and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are openly promoted by members of Congress ("Jewish Space Lasers"), except this only manages to be a surface-level examination of our current issues: Mathews is dispatched but the "ideas" carry on (even the children give the Hitler salute).  It could have delved more into Husk's personal story - his family is nowhere to be found, he has a large scar on his chest, the medication he's on makes him cough up blood - and might have benefited by being given the HBO Treatment as a full season of True Detective.
