- Hercule Pirate1d agoAmazing slow burn with an epic end. Young minds are so helpless…
- cultfilmliker4d agoFreedom is an illusion Freedom is an allusion Freedom is an elusion
- Ben Weirich4d agoWildlife Officer Michael K. Neal, responding to the brief standoff, rammed the suspect's vehicle, preventing their escape and saving the lives of Busby and Wren. Neal exchanged fire with the Kanes through his windshield using his patrol rifle, killing Jerry Kane and wounding Joe Kane before exiting his vehicle and continuing the gun battle. Dozens of officers then surrounded the van, and after several more minutes of ùgunfire, Joe Kane was shot to death by police. For his actions, Neal was awarded Law Enforcement Officer of the Year by the National Rifle Association of America (NRA). Michael K. Neal's truck is on permanent display at the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington D.C.
- Myk E.July 18, 2025There was a 1-star review that has since been deleted on IMDB where someone was complaining that it made fun of Christians, homeschoolers, and freedom loving Americans and I downloaded it based on that review alone.
- rama181July 22, 2025Amazing movie
- Ryan GrammerJuly 26, 2025Great movie but probably won't rewatch.
- Kenneth Shepherd7d agoWas a little slow. Worth checking out.
- gfaust_muddJuly 21, 2025Clearly not worth the time unless I really missed the point of it.
- SpoonsJuly 20, 2025Sovereign is what happens when ideology meets testosterone and nobody backs down. Offerman and Quaid are a force. Smart, tense, tragic.
- BeylieJuly 20, 2025Good acting. Ends suddenly and made me think "okay, is that it?"
- faanetJuly 19, 2025It was a good movie; but, it was too real in showing what is wrong with some Americans Today. Hard to swallow...
- adamcarvellJuly 18, 2025Good film would have liked to know the story of what really happened in the credits of the real characters portrayed in the film which said was a true story.
- assassin007July 17, 2025It's crazy that this is based on true events and also very sad.
- chelogJuly 11, 2025So strong and clear in its message.
- Kevin WardJuly 9, 2025Nick 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.
