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

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

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.

If you are looking for a simple revenge film, Rebel Ridge is not the right tree to bark up. Smartly, it never allows us the stock happy endings we crave.

John Rocha

The Outlaw Nation (Youtube)

A fun, action packed and, yes, touching thriller with a standout performance from Aaron Pierre as Terry, a black man confronted by a sea of racist, small town cops as he tries to free his cousin and smash the corrupt stranglehold the law has on that town.

Rated: 4/5

Kyle M

Structural run-on-the-mill action thriller with timely provocative social commentary as its ideological drive suitably fits, it’s rightfully refined over its tense, solidly plotted deliverance powered by Aaron Pierre establishing a strong stature to peak his caliber. (B+)
