It was on September 6 that this new action thriller was released on the Netflix streaming platform and rose to 2nd place among the service's most-watched films in France. Internet users rushed to watch this production and praise it on social networks.
Internet users won over by this action thriller on Netflix
Netflix continues to please its subscribers by regularly offering new releases. Today, it is a film that we owe to Jeremy Saulnier who was already behind the script and direction of Green Room, Blue Ruin and No Man or God which is a hit on the streaming platform. Available since September 6, this action thriller called Rebel Ridge is carried by Aaron Pierre who is unanimously acclaimed by viewers.
You should know that The screenplay of this film is inspired by a true story, that of Frank Serpico, a police officer who, in the 1960s and 1970s, did not hesitate to denounce the corruption that reigned within the New York police.
Here, Aaron Pierre plays the role of Terry Richmond, a former Marine who will do everything to pay the bail to free his cousin who is in prison in the town of Shelby Springs. With $36,000 in his pocket, he is stopped on the way by the local police who will steal the money from him. Terry will therefore have to find solutions to get his cousin out before his transfer to a larger detention center. He will be able to count on Summer McBride, the court clerk, to fight against the entire Shelby Springs administration which seems corrupt to the core.
On the casting side, Aaron Pierre must face the local police chief Sandy Burnne who is played by Don Johnson and Summer McBride is played by AnnaSophia Robb.

#RebelRidge was so good! My only critique is I wish we got more of an ending. Like it feels unresolved to me.

The best thing about #RebelRidge is they made sure to not make it some romance between the leads. Just two people who the justice system done got them fucked up. 10/10 for me. I had all types of emotions the whole way and never once felt like it was dragging. pic.twitter.com/C7lyEbH1LO

“The best part about #RebelRidge is that they made sure it wasn't a love story between the two main characters. Just two people who got screwed over by the justice system. 10/10 from me. I felt all sorts of emotions throughout the movie and never felt like it was dragging.”

A very nice first hour in Rebel Ridge by Jeremy Saulnier, all in contained tension, like Aaron Pierre impressive presence and unpredictable stoicism. Too bad the slowburn stalls more in a less firm 2nd part. pic.twitter.com/RHKxdndNL9

An excellent slow burn thriller. The film constantly knows when to explode the tension, always palpable. Aaron Pierre is impeccable. #RebelRidge pic.twitter.com/8VmE0yyo4D

There are few Netflix shows as engaging as #RebelRidge, a direct heir to Ted Kotcheff's Rambo in its way of combining urban western, sinisterly current social drama, and brutal action film, while sharply confronting America with its own ills. pic.twitter.com/Vjgqw2nI0n
