In 1988, France was wracked with political division as Francois Mitterand and Jacques Chirac were campaigning for the presidency, with the incumbent Mitterand representing the political left and Chirac speaking for the right. After a band of Kanak separatists under the leadership of Alphonse Dianou (Iabe Lapacas) seize a police station on Ouvea Island, part of the French colony of New Caledonia, twenty-six officers are taken hostage and three are killed. Mitterand assigns counter-terrorism expert Capt. Philippe Legorjus (Mathieu Kassovitz) to deal with the situation, but while Legorjus and his associates attempt to negotiate for the freedom on the policemen, Chirac makes headlines by demanding that military force be used to take back the hostages. As Legorjus slowly begins to gain the trust of Dianou and a peaceful solution seems likely, public opinion in France sways to Chirac's favor and Mitterand is forced to consider more aggressive options. L'Ordre et la Morale (aka Rebellion) was directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, who also played Legorjus and helped adapt the screenplay from the Captain's memoirs. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Review For Movie L'ordre et la morale (Rebellion)
It's superbly structured and consistently suspenseful, offering keen insight into a conflict most of us won't even be aware of. Welcome back, Mathieu.
Tom Huddleston-Time Out An intelligent political drama, part thriller, part war movie, and informed by something of the anger against established authority that fuelled La Haine.
Philip French-Observer [UK] French actor-filmmaker Mathieu Kassovitz (Gothika) takes on a major event in his nation's colonial history with this true action-adventure set on the lush South Pacific island of New Caledonia.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com It is clearly well-researched but not made with La Haine's flair.
Derek Malcolm-This is London The movie doesn't delve too deeply into the mentality of Legorjus or indeed anyone else, but it's a tense, involving tale of France's forgotten imperial trauma.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] harrowing and gripping account of a horrifying true story.
Jack Jones-Little White Lies Rebellion contains impressive cinematography and strong dialogue, and Mathieu Kassovitz shines as its director and star.
Jennifer Tate-ViewLondon Kassovitz deftly negotiates the complexity of what happened but his sympathies clearly lie with the islanders in a politically-charged tale with an approach similar to the work of Costa-Gavras.
Allan Hunter-The List It gets bogged down in detail at times, but there's no mistaking its sense of injustice.
Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman It's an absorbing political drama, eloquent and angry.
Andrew Osmond-Empire Magazine At a compassion-sapping 136 minutes, it's far too long, and Kassovitz's characterless central turn makes a worthy personal statement veer close to vanity project.
Matt Glasby-Total Film Rebellion walks the line between earnestness and self-righteousness, and in doing so unseats The Hurt Locker as the most affecting war drama of the century so far.
Tom Clift-Moviedex Rebellion is a rare piece of film making, a triumph from a director who has the skill, and the will, to commit his cinema to truth telling without compromise.
Julie Rigg-MovieTime, ABC Radio National As a director, [Kassovitz] throws some great moves -- a sequence where a gendarme explains how the station was invaded is a kind of 360-degree whirl of memories brought back to life.
Leigh Paatsch-Herald Sun (Australia) Kassovitz's examination of the compromises our leaders embrace to further their own slanted view of democracy is both vibrantly intelligent and entertaining.
Simon Foster-sbs.com.au There are few French films about France's role in her colonies, almost none set in this part of the world. This one makes some trenchant claims, in a powerfully direct story.
Paul Byrnes-Sydney Morning Herald The dialogue tends to be declamatory on occasions, the characters are either black or white, no pun intended, and it's all a little bit earnest and overlong. But nevertheless, this is history at its most fascinating.
Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) Tense, impressively shot and free of any showy heroics, this is an incisive and affecting look at the way war and politics tragically intersect.
Cara Nash-FILMINK (Australia) Superbly made in every respect, Rebellion is both a tragic indictment of the French politicians and the army command at the time, as well as a carefully researched document
