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.

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.

Richard Brody

New Yorker

The film's hectically choreographed violence has less power than the characters' subtle yet precise glances of recognition or hostility or complicity. The movie's physicality, at its most vital, is infinitesimal.

Slate

Rebel Ridge is that rarest of things, an auteurist action thriller with brains and heart and guts, an electrifying and crowd-pleasing work of cinema, pulp art of the highest level.

Morally on point, packed with powerful performances, and with more than a little to say about contemporary prejudice – Rebel Ridge deserved a cinema release.

Just another forgettable entry in a long line of mid-level thrillers about corrupt law enforcement.

Pierre...is tremendous. Announces himself immediately as he sweatily, muscly, forcibly punctuates every scene, as formidable and imposing a presence on screen as he is star-makingly handsome

Rebel Ridge delivers a gripping mix of relentless action and sharp social commentary, blending Rambo’s intensity with Reacher’s calculated brutality.

Watched this with my dad who's former marine and we just really appreciated the approach and direction and Terry's philosophical practice of self-discipline and de-escalation. Highly recommend and one of my favorite Netflix originals (About time!)

If you really think about it this the most realistic Batman movie ever made from a technical and stealth standpoint. Solid cinematography backed by all time performances from Aaron Pierre and Don Johnson. Good take on the genre

Not worth the time. I so wanted something to happen. I kept thinking he would eventually go John Rambo . . . But I'm still waiting after the film is over. All anticipation with no real climax.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

DO NOT WATCH! Actual waste of time. I feel robbed of an hour due to the fact I had to stop watching mid way through. The plot was so unrealistic and was so obnoxiously pushing a social justice narrative.
