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 Andrew Kendall Stabroek News As a cathartic high-octane revenge thriller, it is limp. As a character study, it is too tetchily schematic to offer more than ambling pleasures and as a cog in the wheel of law enforcement on screen it sounds a desultory conforming cry Apr 13, 2025 Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film 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. Rated: A- Feb 26, 2025 Full Review 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 Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Jack L Rebel Ridge is anchored by a fantastic performance from Aaron Pierre, who brings heart and soul to every scene he’s in. While the film sets up a familiar premise, it cleverly subverts expectations in ways that keep things fresh and engaging. Despite an abrupt ending and some uneven pacing, it’s a solid movie that’s well worth watching on a quiet night in. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Cory C Great film delving into some topics that currently plague our society. Great cast of characters with a protagonist you root for the entirety of the film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Pollyn L Another proof critics have no taste. Blue ruin was a really good movie with great style and realism. This here feels cheap, unrealistic and all over the place. It tries hard to be cool and serious but miserably fails. I wouldn't even recommend it to pass time as there are far better movies in the genre for that. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Roveda A It's a 10 for me, amazingly done, best suspense/action experience from a long time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Allan H Rating would be 5 except for the long stretches of dark screen. Aaron Pierre really makes the 5 rating more than the dark stretches are a distraction. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Ryan H I felt like I was watching a slow lack luster Rambo Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
