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

3/5

“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.

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.

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]

“Rebel Ridge” is a crafty, complex, and rigidly intense thriller, ripe with the stink of systemic rot and the desperate measures that rot creates.

Saulnier lets the slow burn sizzle, opting for an understated climax that keeps the whole thing on the right-side of almost realistic.

A surprisingly intricate and nuanced take on the "outsider runs afoul of corrupt, small-town cops."

I liked this movie a lot and I love don johnson, but I was really impressed by aaron pierre. it's the first I've ever seen of his work and I hope I see more. I found this movie exciting, I liked the story and it wasn't boring. I was engaged to the end.

Rebel Ridge starts of extremely strong. Very quickly it establishes our main character, the antagonist, and the compelling conflict between them. From there it slowly ratches up tension until the events kick off. However it does not continue. The films plot waxes and wains transitioning to light investigative work to uncover what the audiences already know. The film completely lags and diminishes its strong start. Which is a shame because Aaron Pierre does an excellent job as the lead. Creating a character with strong purpose, physicality, and personality. While the few action scenes that exist are compelling. Ultimately the film can not find a way to continue its success past the halfway mark.
