Disorder

An ex soldier, haunted by flashbacks and shaky nerves, is hired to guard the wife and child of a wealthy Lebanese businessman while he travels abroad. The job drags him into a spider web of anxiety, surveillance, and moral gray zones as the mansion becomes a pressure cooker. With PTSD shaping every choice, he juggles protectiveness with intrusive thoughts, misreads signals, and confronts a tidal wave of danger and desire that lurks behind polished surfaces. The assignment tests his limits and forces him to weigh loyalty against fear, safety against freedom, and the cost of staying cool under fire. The film builds a taut, claustrophobic mood without tipping into obvious sensationalism.

Directed by Alice Winocour and released in 2015, Disorder draws from an original screenplay developed with Robin Campillo. The film features Matthias Schoenaerts and Diane Kruger, delivering a restrained, tense experience that prioritizes atmosphere and character over spectacle for viewers.

Reception was mixed, with critics noting the film's spare structure and Matthias Schoenaerts's restrained performance. Themes center on trauma, vigilance, and the fragile sense of security that shadows biopolitical power, inviting viewers to question who really guards whom, and at what price safety comes in a world hungry for control.
