Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult square off in Justin Kurzel’s (Macbeth, Nitram) gripping, thoughtful thriller about a cop’s struggle against a white supremacist group.

Exhausted by mob and Klan cases, a veteran FBI agent relocates to Idaho in search of easier work, only to discover a network of counterfeiting, robbery, and murder leading to the nearby Aryan Nation. As he investigates further, he discovers preparations for a war on the American government – and as the group quickly becomes more dangerous, he must take drastic measures to stop them. Having brilliantly explored male violence across genres for years, director Kurzel does so again through American true crime action. It blends expertly choreographed heists and gunfights with a history-based, all-too-relevant look at the radical right, given depth and weight by Law’s driven, burnt-out lawman and Hoult’s chillingly unpredictable cult leader.
