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.

Enjoyable watch, slight take off of Rambo, but ultimately a quality film. Great way to kill 2 hours

There is some sensible actions from the Characters sprinkled in there, but also pretty damn many dumb ones because "insert Plot-Reason here". Summers cant decide if she is smart or dumb, Terry cant either. On one Hand he acts a Marine with Training and a Code of Conduct, on the other, he behaves like a kid that watched too many action movies. When the Plot allows the Characters to be smart, its a good watch, but all the bad scenes kinda ruin the few good ones.

This was...really, really bad. There was no plot, the writing sucked, the characters were badly written. The action wasn't satisfying because it made no sense and the writing was just...so, so bad.

An excellent crime thriller, with grounded action and a star turn from Aaron Pierre. I hope to see him in more going forward.

Good intense movie. A little contrived at times and a little convenient at times but solid overall. Great performances all around but Robb shines.
