Disorder is a one man protection mission slash home invasion film. This has been done many times before and this is definitely not the best and is probably not the worst either.
As a whole the acting was good. Matthias Schoenaerts was pretty good in this film and literally gives my rating 2 of its 4 stars. Plus the dedication to the role he gave was impressive literally sacrificing his own health for the film has to earn some respect in my books.
The other 2 of my 4/10 rating come from the musical soundtrack. The sound is reminiscent of the horror film It Follows which I loved. The soundtrack is perfect at creating tension and was the real front running micro element to create the films suspense. If all else its also just nice to listen to.
Now my problems with the film... First of all the film confused me, as in I wasn't sure what it wanted to be. There is a large section of the film near the end that aims for a horror kind of feel which the films climax at night. But when it actually came to the pay off it was underwhelming. No music, no tension, rather weak as the film has literally been 1 hour and a half build up.
Another thing was the pacing. I know this films aim was to build tension, but this film felt painfully long. I think this was down to the lack of action in general. Not just violent fighting action, but just literally anything of interest happening. I felt so bored at times I just wanted to smash my face against a glass table multiple times (#references).
This film felt rather repetitive, and to me, that really took away from some of the tension. If you use the same techniques over and over to create tension in s film that feels longer than it is, then it may get old pretty quick. The film consisted of and relied on its soundtrack, walking shots, walking shots at night, slo mo for ptsd struggling and silence. There is so much walking in this film, and if you do it at night with a suspenseful soundtrack its bound to build tension. Sadly to me, that formula felt a tad too easy and basic to create the tension and thus did not impress me.
Overall the acting and soundtrack were good but the film was repetitive, painfully slow and overall unsatisfied me. I was not left unsatisfied purely because of the ambiguousness of its ending, but because the film builds and builds and builds to its ending, to which the pay off was literally non existent.
