Jude Law has had a remarkable week, with two new projects premiering: the thriller film “The Order” and the Disney+ series “Skeleton Crew,” both of which have received high praise from critics and audiences alike.
In “The Order,” Law stars as an FBI agent who investigates a white supremacist gang bent on overthrowing the government. The film, directed by Justin Kurzel, is a gripping and disturbing watch that criticizes hatred and mistrust. With a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score, it’s one of Law’s best-received projects.
In contrast, “Skeleton Crew” is a lighthearted series set in the Star Wars universe, following a group of children on their journey to find their way home in a galaxy far, far away. With a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score, it’s the highest-rated Star Wars live-action series, tied with “Spy” as Law’s highest-rated project.
Law’s versatility as an actor has been on full display this week, showcasing his range in two vastly different roles. His ability to balance the intensity of “The Order” with the lightheartedness of “Skeleton Crew” is a testament to his skill as a performer. As one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation, Law continues to surprise audiences with bold, subversive new roles.
