Critics Consensus

An intelligent and gripping vehicle for Aaron Pierre's star-making performance, Rebel Ridge lays down the law on its action-thriller contemporaries.

As elementally satisfying as a great Western.

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

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.

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

Equal parts suspense thriller gathering evidence and action film relying on close-up combat that never threatens deadly force until the finale, Saulnier is always moving us forward with high stakes scenarios that cannot be subdued without a fight.

Rated: 9/10

Boiling suspense from start to finish. The injustice is palpable & emotionally charged. Plot points are thrown out fast so details are lost but the intensity is pounding. Nothing too fancy, just a good story that packs a punch.

Great acting but Aaron but I think they lost the plot midway through, instead of it escalating it fell off and then built up again

Ok folks. This is bad. Real bad. For 2 hours and 11 mins I would rather run barefoot on broken glass with no shoes than watch this again. Wanted to love it, felt like I was going into a hornets nest but was fooled by the fake positive reviews. Posting this for my movie loving brethren so they don’t have to endure what I just did. Even worse, I recommended this to someone else - they have since blocked me and will refuse to speak To me again. <1 stars

The acting and direction are great. Aarron Pierre as the hero Terry is a star and the supporting cast are top notch. But the story is so implausible and mediocre that it becomes almost funny. We are supposed to believe Terry has to get to Shelby Springs, AL. in time to bail out his cousin, so... he rides a bike there? Couldn't he rent a car? He has the money. No, because he has get knocked off his bike by a cop car to set the plot in motion. Some stuff just don't make sense.

I really don't understand the appeal of this film: it's boring and completely implausibly silly with utterly unrealistic characters and relationships. I thought the acting and action were really mediocre and there was never a point where I felt compelled to keep watching. There's been such praise for this film, and it genuinely perplexes me.
