The Jesus Rolls

The Jesus Rolls is a 2019 American crime comedy film written by, directed by, and starring John Turturro.

Petey and Quintana return and have him damage the muscle car's brakes and structural integrity.

When they break into Paul's beauty salon and steal the money, Marie freaks out and attacks them.

The pair pick up recently released inmate Jean from a woman's prison, and they take her to buy clothes.

They discover that Jean's son, Jack is getting out of prison the next day, so Petey and Quintana pick him up.

At a gas station, Petey and Quintana read in a newspaper, that they are wanted in the shooting of the officer.

[8][9][10] Most of the development of the Jesus character came from Turturro as an actor, which led the Coens to give him a bigger place in the film.

[11] In August 2016, it was announced that Turturro had been granted the right to use the character of Jesus by the Coens (who were not involved in the production), and had already started filming the spin-off, which he wrote and directed.

[2] The film was produced by Sidney Kimmel, John Penotti, Fernando Sulichin, Paul-Dominique Vacharsinthu, and Robert Salerno.

[14] It was theatrically released in Italy on October 17, 2019,[15][2] and in the United States on February 28, 2020, by Screen Media Films.

The website's critics consensus reads: "The Jesus Rolls limply into the gutter in its misguided attempt to belatedly explore the saga of a supporting character better left on the margins.

[18] Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Though Turturro turned this small part into a memorable character for the Coens, Quintana is not so reliably funny here, especially headlining a whole film of very intermittent charm.

The Coen brothers have a touch for the absurd, and a gift for dialogue, that's lacking here, and without those two qualities, Jesus wears out his welcome relatively early in the journey.
