The Order (2003) Alex Bernier (Ledger) is a member of an arcane order of priests known as Carolingians. When the head of the order dies, Alex is sent to Rome to investigate mysterious circumstances surrounding the death. The body bears strange marks on the chest which may or may not be the sign of a Sin Eater (Furmann), a renegade who offers absolution, last rites and therefore a path to heaven outside the jurisdiction of the church. Alex enlists the aid of his old comrade Father Thomas (Addy) and of a troubled artist (Sossamon) upon whom he once performed an exorcism. He soon finds himself plunged into a mystery only to find himself at the heart of it.

Movie Quote(s):
  • Mara: [to Alex] It's you and me. You and me till the wheels fall off.
  • Will: You measure life with a ruler... and a bathroom scale.
  • Thomas Garrett: Oh, women. Can't live with 'em. Can't live with 'em.
  • Alex Bernier: And now it is I. I have been blessed and cursed... for now I possess the keys to the kingdom of heaven. I will forgive those who deserve freedom. I will damn those who have damned themselves. I will learn to live after love has died. I am the sin eater.
  • Alex Bernier: Promise you won't try to kill me. Mara: [sighs] Cross my heart, hope to die.
Movie Trivia:
  • Originally scheduled for January 17, 2002, the film's release date was postponed when the visual effects had to be redone because they were thought to be unintentionally funny. According to a anonymous source close to the production quoted by Variety magazine, the special effects depicting sins exiting the human body after death looked like "calamari".
  • Vincent Cassel had originally been cast as William Eden but left the production after three weeks due to "creative differences". He has been replaced by Benno Fürmann.
  • On the DVD, there's a deleted scene in which Thomas wields a flaming sword - a biblical reference. As Adam and Eve are expelled from the Garden Of Eden, God places an angel (some traditions say an archangel called Uriel) at the gates with a flaming sword. He is to make sure that none enter the Garden of Eden unworthy. Thomas thus sees himself as a guardian of Eden, or Paradise.
  • According to Brian Helgeland, Peter Weller did extensive research for his role by studying old religious rituals and histrionics.
  • Heath Ledger, Shannyn Sossamon, and Mark Addy all previously appeared together in A Knight's Tale (2001).
