The Thacker Case
Brian Jun
Categories: Narrative Feature Competition
Average Rating:
Rated 3.69850510116502/5 Stars
My Rating:
Run time: 95 min. | USA
A controversial wrongful death suit in a small town is the backdrop to AFF alum Brian Jun’s The Thacker Case, the follow-up to his 2006 festival hit Steel City. When the body of Kevin Thacker is discovered behind the police station after he is brought in for drunk driving, the stories simply don’t add up to the accidental death the police claim. His parents bring a young attorney onto the case to try to find justice for their son. Jun’s feature has a new take on the classic courtroom procedural, mixing in the gritty realism of New Hollywood with a moving family story.
