"Rebel Ridge" is a ferociously satisfying update of "First Blood," skillfully intertwining Jeremy Saulnier’s signature tension with themes of corruption in a small town.
Terry Richmond's struggle against local police corruption unfolds through a series of standoffs, highlighting issues like civil asset forfeiture and the fight against injustice.
Saulnier's direction taps into classic action traditions, blending elements of '70s and '80s action films with the ethos of spaghetti Westerns, creating an atmospheric tension.
Aaron Pierre's performance as Terry Richmond stands out, portraying a nuanced character navigating a hostile environment while confronting deeply ingrained corruption and brutality.
