Rebel Ridge (2024)
6/10
Just average
9 September 2024
Average First Blood type film though nowhere near as violent. A black ex-marine innocently gets in a world of trouble in good ol' boy country and has to fight his way out and get some revenge on the side. But this is not really a revenge film. It's a fight for justice film with a strong lead performance by the charismatic Aaron Pierre. I would think he has a big future, but hopefully in better films than this and the lamentably bad Foe (read the book instead!). Nearly all the cops, led by a convincingly vile Don Johnson, in this small town are corrupt and the only assistance this poor guy gets is from the only two women who are seen in this film. Make of that what you will, but this is minor league stuff with some decent car chases, which is good as it seems half the movie takes place in various vehicles. The plot is a bit convoluted, but I've seen much worse and so have you.
