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.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

The film runs out of momentum, finding itself ensnared in a needlessly complicated web of intrigue and administrative shenanigans.

Rated: 3/5

... A sharp and very memorable thriller, hopefully to the point that it’s seen as widely as possible.

Rated: 4/5

Empire Magazine

Firmly establishing Aaron Pierre’s credentials as a thinking man’s Rambo, Rebel Ridge might not be particularly groundbreaking, but this Netflix-and-kill thriller is an undeniably fun night in.

Rated: 4/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

Rebel Ridge is a smart action thriller in the First Blood mode and is elevated by Pierre’s terrific central performance.

…a tough, escalating small scale drama/thriller that ends up delivering the goods when it comes to visceral, engaging action…like Terry Richmond, Rebel Ridge gets its tactics spot-on, and puts us all on the side of the good guys...

Rated: 4/5

Robert W. Butler

Butler's Cinema Scene

It’s smart, tense, and yet it never devolves into a high-body-count fantasy. It walks right up to the edge of overkill, but never crosses the line.

Reacher-esque in all the right ways. Favorite line from a corrupt cop's dismayed shock, "He has his own Wikipedia page?!"

Rebel Ridge IS A CAPTIVATING THRILLER that cranks up the tension from the beginning to the very end! It’s methodical, the cast is terrific, but Aaron Pierre has BIG action star potential & brings an intense nuanced presence without absolving emotion. WATCH IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN! The plot unfolds over the course of film but the conflict starts from the very beginning. It’s simple, yet effective, with twists and turns taken throughout the film that surprise you just when you thought you knew everything. Jeremy Saulnier crushed it directing this. It isn’t the action movie some might expect but that’s why this works. The cast is great and really keeps you guessing what might happen next. The conflict is tense and tangible but never distracts the heart and sense of community this film has. The Reacher vibes are RADIATING! Rebel Ridge knows exactly what it is & executes it superbly. It’s poignant but simultaneously tense, has levity but the conflict at hand has true darkness. It’s the type of film that rewards your investment and trust me, that won’t be hard considering I was glued to the screen!

Unexpectedly quiet with more attention to the characters than I expected. Brilliantly acted and beautifully shot. This was supposed to be a dumb action thriller, but it's certainly not. There certainly is the suspension of disbelief in certain parts, but welcome to the movies. Watched it three times.

This is a great example of an entertaining action movie with out the violence and gore that’s so common now.

Started off okay, but then really bogged down on the middle and completely fizzled in the end. Found myself looking at my watch about half way through.

"Rebel Ridge" was a great film, but the ending left me wanting more. It felt like something was missing, as if there was another layer waiting to be uncovered.
