The film, set in Arkansas in 2010, tells the story of Jerry Kane, a self-described “sovereign citizen” who proselyted against laws and governmental authority via appearances on right-wing radio talk shows and traveling around the Midwest delivering seminars about property rights and avoiding taxes. It’s as if Ron Swanson had gone fully around the bend.
A widowed, unemployed roofer, Jerry constantly faces eviction and home-schools his teenage son Joe (Jacob Tremblay, Room). He’s a loving but disciplinary father, hectoring his son to say his prayers every night and reminding him, “Don’t forget J.C.” Like many others of his ilk, he fervently believes in gun rights, illegally owning an AR-15 that gets him into trouble when he and his son are pulled over for a routine traffic stop.
He’s promptly arrested, with Joe being temporarily placed in a juvenile home, where he begins to feel some relief from his father’s relentless intensity. The local police chief, John (Dennis Quaid, infusing his portrayal with low-key gravitas), understatedly tells Joe, “It sounds to me like your dad doesn’t like the government so much. He has some…interesting ideas.” When Jerry is bailed out several days later by his on-and-off girlfriend Lesley Anne (Martha Plimpton, warmly affecting), he’s even more extremist than before, threatening to sue the cop who arrested him, refusing to recognize the authority of the court, and walking out of the courtroom during his trial.

If it weren’t for the fact that Offerman is a raging leftist…
Sounds like the only thing this radical Left-wing extremist movie is missing is a few false-flag Patriot Front marches.
“illegally owning an AR-15”???
In Arkansas? In 2010? Did he have a felony record? Hollywood just hits all their dog whistles with their BS narratives
Beyond raging - complete loon.
Also, I’ve never met an unemployed roofer. There is always work for a skilled tradesman.
I was thinking the same thing. What it shows is the disdain the condescending writers have for working people.
Unless they are sacred “undocumented” democrat voters, of course.
And the President in Civil War.
He’s playing against type in that, as a raging leftist, bigger and bigger government is one of his ideological goals.
Frank Scheck your prejudice is showing, viz.: “Like many others of his ilk,...”
