Review: 'Rebel Ridge' is a corrupt cop thriller that builds tension with restraint
Briefly

Terry Richmond's intelligence and strategic approach in a corrupt environment highlight a more humanistic take on action, differing from Saulnier's earlier, more brutal work.
The film emphasizes the importance of de-escalation and strategy in conflicts, contrasting with typical thriller tropes where brute force prevails.
The verbal sparring between Pierre and Johnson reveals the complexities of power dynamics within a corrupt police force, making each encounter engaging.
Saulnier's newest film seeks to engage the audience through quick thinking and character depth, rather than sheer violence, marking a significant shift in his storytelling.
