Sovereign
Sovereign
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.

Nick Offerman plays gun-loving, anti-government, antagonist that fights any kind of government authority with his homegrown pseudo-legalese. When he’s not giving his Sovereign Citizen pep talks on podcasts and small rallies, he’s indoctrinating his son (Jacob Tremblay) in his Sovereign Citizen teachings, ordering him to ignore mortgage collectors, sidestep tax collectors and government officials. This takes a somewhere predictable downward spiral, but Offerman is believably off-kilter here. Kind of reminded me of watching Justin Kurzel’s Nitram—another one I would recommend.
