Achilling believability creeps into this dystopian debut from actor-turned-director Lázaro Ramos that’s hard to shake off.

There's enough here to fill a miniseries or television show, and it's worth wondering how well that might have served the story. Still, all this is to say - Executive Order brings a lot to the table.

Ramos' film has strong potential, but lacks a consistent vision.

The development of its characters is deeply shallow, leaving them in simple stereotypical profiles.
