‘Rebel Ridge’ Review: Jeremy Saulnier’s Fierce ACAB Thriller Is An Intense Showcase For Aaron Pierre
If you want a high-velocity, muscular, and sharply tense dramatic thriller, which also doubles as a penetrating action film, more or less, in the parlance of the kids, we are so back. Or rather, the acclaimed indie director Jeremy Saulnier has finally returned with his long-awaited fifth feature film and, more importantly, returns to form after the minor misstep of 2019’s “Hold the Dark.” His best film since “Green Room,” and nearly as gripping, anxiety-inducing, and visceral, Saulnier’s “Rebel Ridge” is a no-fuss, no-muss dynamic action thriller.
