Jesse Hassenger AV Club As elementally satisfying as a great Western. Rated: A- Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Ty Burr 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 Oct 18, 2024 Full Review 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. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta “Rebel Ridge” is a crafty, complex, and rigidly intense thriller, ripe with the stink of systemic rot and the desperate measures that rot creates. Jul 21, 2025 Full Review Ryan Syrek The Reader (Omaha, NE) Saulnier lets the slow burn sizzle, opting for an understated climax that keeps the whole thing on the right-side of almost realistic. Rated: A Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Maxance Vincent Film Speak Aaron Pierre and Don Johnson fiercely lead the action thriller Rebel Ridge, which marks director Jeremy Saulnier’s best film yet. Rated: A Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Nick W This movie is a fantastic fun ride. I love love love the action, the plot, and the main characters will to jeep going! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Rehan A Rebel Ridge is a tense, hard-hitting thriller that blends social commentary with explosive action, anchored by a gripping central performance. While it occasionally veers into familiar territory, its raw intensity and bold narrative choices make it a standout in the genre. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Jack L Rebel Ridge is anchored by a fantastic performance from Aaron Pierre, who brings heart and soul to every scene he’s in. While the film sets up a familiar premise, it cleverly subverts expectations in ways that keep things fresh and engaging. Despite an abrupt ending and some uneven pacing, it’s a solid movie that’s well worth watching on a quiet night in. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Cory C Great film delving into some topics that currently plague our society. Great cast of characters with a protagonist you root for the entirety of the film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Pollyn L Another proof critics have no taste. Blue ruin was a really good movie with great style and realism. This here feels cheap, unrealistic and all over the place. It tries hard to be cool and serious but miserably fails. I wouldn't even recommend it to pass time as there are far better movies in the genre for that. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Roveda A It's a 10 for me, amazingly done, best suspense/action experience from a long time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
