Terry Richmond enters the town of Shelby Springs on a simple but urgent mission-- post bail for his cousin and save him from imminent danger. But when Terry’s life’s savings is unjustly seized by law-enforcement, he’s forced to go head to head with local police chief Sandy Burnne and his combat-ready officers. Terry finds an unlikely ally in court clerk Summer McBride and the two become ensnared in a deep-rooted conspiracy within the remote township. As the stakes turn deadly, Terry must call upon his mysterious background to break the department’s hold on the community, bring justice to his own family-- and protect Summer in the process.

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'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.

Movie Brief

Like him, the movie will knock you out; unlike him, it’ll be in a good way.

Rated: 3/4

For the Win (USA Today)

The year’s biggest birth of a movie star came from [Aaron] Pierre in Jeremy Saulnier’s brilliantly taut Rebel Ridge.

This is a superlative thriller. One that proves Saulnier is one of our finest voices of iconoclastic cinema. He plays in familiar genre playgrounds, yet always comes out with something new and interesting to say.

Rated: 5/5

Through all the mumbling and whispering perhaps you can make sense of the plot... I think I vaguely gathered it. After about fifteen minutes I couldn't really care less what happened. Didn't really ring true.

A non over the top action film that's grounded in its storytelling. If you're someone who prefers a stimulating film over mindless action and enjoys a good suspence filled police film worth while watching.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A movie with an excellent build up that never gets to the point. Action is shied away from at every opportunity for conflict. The main character takes lots of abuse and barely does anything about it.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Not too over the top like many action movies are. Just enough riveting suspense to keep me watching for the slightly more than 2 hour length of the movie. If underlying themes of corrupt police departments and civil asset forfeiture interest you, this is a good one to add to your watch list.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
