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.

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.

3/5

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.

I don’t know how this movie has a score over 90. Underwhelming.

This movie is about 45 minutes too long with the unnecessary addiction and child custody drama a time wasting distraction. And the action hero is the nicest guy ever, never killing anyone but using non-lethal force. When there are holes in the plot, its time to save your time and go watch something else.

The most infuriating and unsatisfying movie experience of my entire life. Common sense played NO part in the writing of this film. More plot holes than a crocheted blanket. Absolute nonsense from start to finish. I have never felt more like I wasted my time watching a movie. The only surprises in this film are every single character making the most nonsensical choice at every turn without exception. The implausible "action," if you could even call it that, insisted on absolute impotence and tactical choices that no human being in the history of planet Earth would ever make. The ending felt as if the director suddenly had low blood sugar and called it a day in the quickest, most pathetic way possible, without any attempt at explanation or satisfaction. It's almost like he forgot that people were going to have to suffer through this garbage and be deeply dissatisfied with the fact that nothing was solved, no justice was displayed, and every viewer's time was utterly wasted.
