Struggling single father Jerry indoctrinates his son Joe into the sovereign citizen movement, teaching him that laws are mere illusions and freedom is something you take. But, as Jerry’s ideology consumes them, they are set on a collision course with a police chief who has spent his life upholding the rules that Jerry has spent his tearing down.

A difficult but worthwhile and eye-opening (bordering on necessary) watch.

A finely crafted, emotionally charged piece. The casting is spot-on. The film really shines with the father-son dynamic.

Powerful — resonant in today’s America.

Enjoyable but is a bit of a hodge-podge with subtext taking over context to an egregious amount. Good performances from the father and son.

Two great performances, looks great, interesting topic. Not much to this, straightforward well made movie.

A worthwhile watch on indoctrination and extremism and the end result. Well made movie.

I wish some aspects were more developed & the romance felt really pointless/out of place, but great lead acting + a palpably tense final act
