Oscar-winning film fans of Amazon Prime's chilling true crime film The Order should watch next

A 'sensational' Oscar-winning film, inspired by a lesser-known true story, is a must-watch for fans of The Order, recently added to Amazon Prime. This crime drama, featuring Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult, has just been made available to subscribers of the major platform. In the movie, Jude Law portrays an FBI agent leading an investigation into a series of violent robberies. The trail leads to a white supremacist group, headed by Nicholas Hoult's character, with sinister plans to overthrow the federal government.

Viewers who have already watched the film expressed their shock that the plot is based on real people and events from the 1980s. This means that those who enjoyed the title have another similar option in terms of inspiration and execution. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, like The Order, is also a gripping crime drama available to stream on Disney+. It too is based on real-life events that may be unfamiliar to most audiences. Released in 2018, Frances McDormand stars as Mildred Hayes, a grieving mother still reeling from the rape and murder of her daughter. Months later, she protests and challenges the police officials when they fail to apprehend the perpetrator, reports Surrey Live.

Frances McDormand scooped an Oscar for her outstanding act alongside co-star Sam Rockwell, while many movie buffs reckon Jude Law was snubbed by the Academy for his role in The Order. Unlike The Order, Three Billboards wasn't a straight dramatisation of true events but drew heavy inspiration from them. In 1991, Kathy Page, a 34-year-old Texan waitress and mum, was found dead in her car. Following initial investigations, it was suggested she was murdered elsewhere before being moved. Her former husband was front and centre as a suspect, but no arrests came to pass.

Distraught, Kathy's dad went all guns blazing against the bobbies with handcrafted signs proclaiming "Vidor Police Botched Up the Case," "Waiting for Confession," and "This Could Happen to You". He levelled up his campaign with billboards pointing the finger at his daughter's ex and lobbing bribery accusations at the police. Director Martin McDonagh came across these messages whilst on a US road trip, sparking the idea for Three Billboards' screenplay. Although he tweaked some details, like aging down the victim and casting the mum as the parent out for justice. It turned the flick into McDonagh's own brand of fiction, but the real-life inspiration still hit home with viewers nonetheless.

McDonagh divulged to Collider: "The idea of the anger and the pain behind that was something that I could never really get out of my head. I didn't know it would be a story or film, but the rage that put a bunch of billboards like that up was palpable and stayed with me.". One thrilled fan expressed online: "This film is sensational and definitely worth a watch. There's not a wasted line of dialogue in the script. There's more character depth established in the first half hour of this movie than the entire MCU. It constantly makes you reflect on the consequences of your actions, it's like an ultimate butterfly effect movie, but done in a believable not so in your face way. You'll laugh, cry, stand in solitude with characters then be horrified in their actions the next minute.".

Meanwhile, another enthusiast raved: "I can't believe my eyes, ears, and the feeling of my gut after watching this film. This was heavy and superb. No longer can I simply mention Fargo when recommending Frances McDormand to a less qualified movie liker. From now on Fargo is the salad, and this film is the main course. Sam Rockwell crushing another character task and film like he is known to do time and time again.".
