The Grand Jury prize winner at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival tests the limits of how long one can sit with the unflinching portrait of an angry, broken man whose life is falling apart in every direction, and it turns out its about 91 minutes. Writer-director-star Jim Cummings adaptation of his acclaimed 2016 short focuses on a wayward police officer who cant manage to put his life together, largely due to his own simmering rage and sloppy mistakes. Cummings unruly performance as the mustachioed anti-hero engenders a paradoxical character study, in which the filmmaker takes to both sides of the camera to beg the audience for empathy, but doesnt make it easy. From its teary-eyed, cringe-inducing opening eulogy to the tragic finale, Thunder Road maintains a beguiling funny-sad balance thats unique to Cummings filmmaking voice, and won him overnight fans at SXSW. Considering the charged image of the police officer in America at the moment, this complex portrait could hit the zeitgeist; more than that, it would put a distributor in business with a filmmaker whos clearly just getting started.
