Synopsis:
For centuries a secret Order has existed within the Church. Following a series of unexplained murders, a renegade priest (HEATH LEDGER) begins an investigation that hurls him into a maelstrom of unimaginable evil, murder, and the knowledge that there is a fate worse than death.The priest's search takes him to The Sin Eater: a key figure in this mysterious and ancient Order. The immortal Sin Eater's role is nothing less than playing God on earth by absolving the unforgivable of their sins outside the Church, allowing great evil to go unpunished.Burdened with centuries of evil, The Sin Eater craves the luxury of death, but who will eat his sins and grant eternal peace? Who will carry on his dark tradition and continue the work of the Order? As the young priest uncovers the answers and pursues these paragons of evil, he fights to save his own soul and that of the woman he loves.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Ordinarily when a studio decides not to show a film to critics, the critics go anyway, standing in line and buying their tickets at the box office and filing their reviews for publication over the weekend or on Monday. But the 20th Century Fox religious thriller The Order, starring Heath Ledger, attracted few critics from the major newspapers. Those who did see it gave it the expected pans. A crackpot religious-romantic thriller, riddled with grandiose utterances and ooky-spooky special effects, wrote Jan Stuart in Newsday. Manohla Dargis commented in the Los Angeles Times: A narrative and visual muddle, the film ... fails on a very high order. Stephen Holden in the New York Times called it a movie so entranced by its own bogus solemnity that most of what passes for conversation is language warped into the heavy-breathing pontification of prophecy delivered in thudding Charlton Heston-style cadences. Wesley Morris in the Boston Globe summed it up as a stupendous bore.
