Rebel Ridge
2024
5.5/10
I watched this one this afternoon. I originally had no interest in it from watching the trailer. It seemed predictable. Since it’s been getting raves by critics/viewers, I decided to watch it.
The first hour plays out pretty predictable. The premise has been done a zillion times in Hollywood since the 1930s. It was used extensively during the Blaxploitation era also.
After the first hour, the film goes into a completely different direction with the main plot. The films pace somewhat drops. A couple times I had to rewind cuz I was spacing out while watching it.
Suspense thru-out is pretty predictable with no big surprises.
It falls in the category of “Watch It Once, No Interest In Watching It Again”.
Synopsis
A former Marine confronts corruption in a small town when local law enforcement unjustly seizes the bag of cash he needs to post his cousin's bail.
