Jesse Hassenger AV Club As elementally satisfying as a great Western. Rated: A- Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) “Rebel Ridge” isn’t up there with Saulnier’s earlier films but it’s still something rare in the commercial movie landscape: A work of pure professionalism behind the camera and in front of it. Rated: 3/5 Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Adam Nayman The Ringer With a whip-smart plot, a strong lead in Aaron Pierre, and a standout villain in Don Johnson, director Jeremy Saulnier has done it again. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Marta Medina mundoCine Jeremy Saulnier’s Rebel Ridge starts with a frantic pace that grips the viewer, but unfortunately in its second half it loses too much momentum and becomes so conventional that, within a few days, it is already forgotten. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta “Rebel Ridge” is a crafty, complex, and rigidly intense thriller, ripe with the stink of systemic rot and the desperate measures that rot creates. Jul 21, 2025 Full Review Ryan Syrek The Reader (Omaha, NE) Saulnier lets the slow burn sizzle, opting for an understated climax that keeps the whole thing on the right-side of almost realistic. Rated: A Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

C P Saw the trailer info. Thought they might have possibly made a modern remake of First Blood using a black actor. Show started with potential than quickly fell on its face. Dragged on forever waiting for some action. Acting was fine, plot was a complete let down. Hollywood pansies writing military mentality. The ending made absolutely no sense at all. Going within seconds from being hunted to the death by corrupt cops, to giving them escorts to the hospital. And that's where it ends. WTF!!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review VITALII H To be truthful i was very bored the entire movie. You give it a chance and hope that somewhere in the middle there's gonna be a turn of events, a plot twist, something, but no. The movie is about a guy Terry who's trying to do the right thing by exposing the corrupted law enforcement in a small town. My thing is this, this is an action movie, but there was no action basically. Everything felt monotonish and like a drag. I liked the acting, the production was okay. Aaron Pierre was very impressively pulling out stunts and tricks during the fighting scenes, but it didn't saved the movie unfortunately. The movie was unnecessarily long. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Jose N Te engancha desde el inicio y te mantienen en constante tensión, tiene buenas escenas de acción y es muy satisfactoria de ver. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/25 Full Review Michael O “Rebel Ridge” is a crafty, complex, and rigidly intense thriller, ripe with the stink of systemic rot and the desperate measures that rot creates. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Jake C Awful. Just completely awful. Acting is not believable at all and the story line is so bland and boring. Poorly directed and action sequences are corny. Don’t watch this movie.
