The Jesus Rolls
John Turturro writes, directs and reprises his "roll" as notorious bowler Jesus Quintana from Coen brothers classic The Big Lebowski. Co-stars Bobby Cannavale (The Irishman), Audrey Tautou (Amélie), Jon Hamm (Baby Driver) and Oscar-winning great Susan Sarandon.
Hours after being released from prison, Jesus reunites with his best friend Petey (Cannavale) and hit the road for a no-holds-barred joyride in a stolen car. When the car’s gun-toting owner (Hamm) catches up with them, they flee the scene with free-spirited shampooist Marie (Tautou) and continue their epic petty-crime spree and a three-way romance.

Hollywood Reporter
Though Turturro turned this small part into a memorable character for the Coens, Quintana is not so reliably funny here, especially headlining a whole movie of very intermittent charm.
