Mark B I really enjoyed this movie. It felt familiar until it didn't. I was surprised by its pace and the development of certain characters. The sound was good, I enjoy sound tracks that elevate the viewing experience. The acting was great. Aaron was so kind, but that quiet reserve had an explosive righteous anger brimming inside, I was feeling for him and cheering him. The directing was great too. Total surprise some of the scenes, odd car angles and weird camera position that added to the tension in some scenes, but never forced on you and it back out when the time was right to allow us to be observers and not in the action the whole time. All in all, way better than I thought it was going to be when I clicked play. Nice job Netflix.

I’m surprised to see so much critical praise for it. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Lisa S Great action movie. It kept us engaged from beginning to end. I definitely recommend this movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Josta F Could’ve Been Netflix's First Blood—But they wimped Out Rebel Ridge had all the ingredients to be a modern-day Rambo: a wronged veteran, a corrupt police force, and a broken system begging for reckoning. But instead of delivering the gritty, cathartic justice the setup promised, it slams on the brakes and tries to play it safe. Aaron Pierre gives a solid performance and the tension is there—but where’s the payoff? (Spoiler: there is none.) We watch a Marine trained for war get pushed and pushed... and then he doesn’t fight back when he clearly can? It's all restraint, no release. The bad guys barely get what's coming. And for a story this heavy, that’s not justice—it’s just a letdown. The setup and early story are great. There’s even a real-world case eerily similar—where a veteran had thousands of dollars taken by a police department for no reason. But instead of channeling that injustice into something raw and powerful, Rebel Ridge just whimpers out. This could’ve been First Blood for our era. Instead, it just edges you and never finishes. A huge missed opportunity. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Wallace V A film that revives the idea that men don't need to be violent all the time, shows us that men can control themselves and explode at the right time, but they need to be prepared for violence when necessary. How much films like this were missing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review David Z Rebel ridge was very good until the ending. The entire movie was 5 star until the last 5 minutes when I give it a 1 star. I can’t believe how badly it ended. I don’t think I would have spent over an hour and a half watching it if I had known it would have such a poor ending. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
