REBEL RIDGE MOVIE REVIEW 2024 | Double Toasted

[@RaSheedapower]

Showing a black person listening to heavy metal is what normal black people do. I grew up listening to different genres. we should stop putting ourselves in a stereotypical box

[@skyofthelivingdead]

Tbh. The whole “black people only listen to rap and R&B and if you don’t you’re not black enough” rhetoric has always made me side eye. Seems extremely reductive and stereotypical.

Julian's excuse for the cops knocking him off the bike is how you get situations like the cop who did a pit maneuver on a pregnant woman and flipped her car, even though there was not enough of a shoulder to pull over and she was following her legal duty to continue to a safe place before stopping.

[@archerpool]

I’m with Corey. Don Johnson was great, but Emory Cohen, man I despised him. Aside from how this film used dialogue to up the stakes, I also really loved the simplicity of the action. If this was Reacher or any other big tough guy against a ton of normal people, for some reason everyone knows martial arts. If a highly trained individual is coming up against a normal person or a group of them, they don’t have to pull out all the moves, but of course all these shows and films try to make it entertaining through fights alone so naturally they make it flashy so everyone can fight. But here they were really useless against him to the point he was relaxed and didn’t have to break a sweat as all the tension comes from dialogue. Just as much as I can love all these action scenes with great choreography, sometimes it’s nice to just get something very simple. I also completely agree that Aaron Pierre is a great leading man. He’s currently linked with the role of John Stewart in the Lanterns show. Seemingly between him and Damson Idris, but even if he doesn’t get it I think this film has put him in demand. Probably because it’s come out so close to Alien: Romulus, but I can really see him and Cailee Spaeny together just shooting up Xenomorph’s. He just suits that franchise for some reason and I think they’d work superbly well together.

[@mickiemallorie]

We've been so blinded by unrealistic action films that realistic action bores us - people don't realize how quickly fights start and end. Martin pointed out the grappling, but he only grapples once...but as the stakes were upped, his tactics got more brutal to match it...non-lethal, but effective. Plus, I've never seen this but the emptying weapons of clips was a really neat tactic.

[@subtlejester]

This happened to an marine vet who had his life savings in cash on him while traveling to his kids in CA. He was randomly pulled over by Nevada state police and they took his money.

Its like the writers couldn't find a better reason to put him into conflict with the corrupt cops. If the owner of the restaurant is willing to wire Terry money after his money was stolen than why not ask the owner to loan money to get a rental after he sold his car? If Terry was willing to give his bike to Summer to sell for around a thousand dollars than why not Terry sell his bike and put the money towards a rental

Aaron also played Malcolm X in Genius. I thought he was better in that. I think he's a fine actor, with nice range and vulnerability, but I also found some of his line readings a bit flat. He was consistent though, maybe a little subtle for an actioner.

[@lordthanos2959]

Just watched it and perfect time for this 😂

[@TabathaTMartin]

This was a banger thriller

[@pastoryoda2789]

This sort of thing did happen to Lil Boosie while driving through Mississippi, the dirty police tried to steal his Jewelry and money and as soon as he got his lawyers and the public involved and they found out he was a famous rapper they gave it back quick.

Every Jeremy Saulnier film has made me feel scared, excited, and finding myself pumping my fist when Justice is served. Just got done watching this. Wow, what a great f*cking movie

[@melbrown2295]

I think that sometimes Martin just needs to bump Korey so that he doesn’t repeat himself like a broken record…

[@KriticalKonscious]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@JacksonScully]

I don't usually like movie reviews, but I love these movie reviews!

[@wilcee238]

They really missed the opportunity to call this “Black Reacher”.

[@mirandaholley9797]

Shame on Julien!!!!

[@Peer165]

This movie really didn't need to be over 2h long. First Blood is a tight 93m experience and there is no fat at all, Rebel Ridge on the other hand feels bloated.

[@ItsJustCartier]

Yup especially with a goofy setup that was as real as John Wick with as bad as acting

[@ganggang3788]

Yea too much going on with the lady lawyer. Most of that was extra.

[@MentalStillness]

I enjoyed but it could've been trimmed a tad.

[@vrblknch1]

The single take sequence when Richmond parks the dully under the bridge and climbs out on top and up to the road was chef's kiss. This had no business being so good. Saulnier delivers again.

[@TheKingkong2468]

This happened to a man in Arizona I believe. He was transporting 10 bands for his daughter college, and the officers/tyrants, took every dime from him

[@therealDeanThomas]

Red flags for Julien🚩🚩🚩

[@stylewarz_nyc]

I only thought of Rambo because of the trailer. But the movie isn't really what it looks like from the trailer. I see more Jack Reacher than Rambo.

[@ReddeSpectre]

The Institute for Justice does a lot of work with helping people that get targeted by Civil Asset Forfeiture. It's scary to think that Civil Asset Forfeiture is unfortunately legal all over the US and a lot of innocent people get robbed by the police for no good reason, but at least there are some good people trying to do something about it (and winning quite a few cases, too).

[@dragomike]

Holy crap... You let Julien actually defend cop brutality? I can not believe this coming from his mouth.

[@SDC_BIGTIME]

Don't dogpile Julian guys, he's clearly never biked while black before

[@russellmajor7701]

Welp Julien is who I thought he was👍🏾. Just happy it was kept in the review instead of edited out. It’s not shocking that he’s that openly ignorant. I also love seeing him trying to cover himself and backtrack when he realized he thought it was okay for the cop to knock the guy off his bike instead of doing anything else to signal him to stop.

[@theophilusahene-akwa4736]

One of my favorite parts of this movie was really how grounded it was: like the characters are so aware of their environment and also make very human mistakes. Like terry at the beginning when talking to summer, a car in the distance revs their engine, and he is easily alerted to it speaking of how instinctive he is. Blink and you will miss it. Then there is the part with the fire where he trips and falls on the fire 😂😂 like he is still human but still badass

[@booleanillogical4757]

For ppl trying to pretend it matters whether Terry was in a bike or car (SPOILER ALLERT for the "why" of the film basically): The cops wouldve found some reason or way to delay Terry even if he had gotten there sooner with a car. They KNEW terry wanted to post bail, and were purposfully keeping him from doing it bc of the 90 day thing we learn from the judge. Thats why they also lie to him about the deal they had and why they raid the chinese shop so they can't wire him more money. Even if it was true that "the movie wouldnt have happened if he had a car" that's actually a GREAT reason for him not to have a car, considering the goal was to make a movie.

[@stephanielitz4056]

This movie had me hooked right away because Terry was listening to Iron Maiden. Using “Number of the Beast” really set the mood for the hell this guy was going to go through

[@foundry37]

Any flick that starts off showing the Black hero listening to Maiden then Bad Brains automatically gets 8 stars from me. This movie as a whole was very entertaining. Immediately got Billy Jack meets Walking Tall type vibes.

[@JeromeLaserface]

Looking Forward to seeing this Actor Playing the First James Bonds of Color and the arises Black Batman! The Movie was Amazing! Wow!

[@adventuresinAI1982]

I haven't seen this movie yet but listening to your description in the first five minutes I was thinking Rambo. Naturally I was pleased when you said the same thing a few minutes later.

[@TranCeFORM3R]

Just finished watching the movie, it did felt like Julien doubled down on what the cops felt in the movie, was it a brain fart or opps I let my true feelings out. Because either way he can’t read the room, I hope the Actor Aaron Pierre goes far beyond a typecast too.

[@Waltontitoeugene]

I actually loved this movie. All of the characters were very real, the cops weren’t cartoon villains. The protagonist was very convincing on portraying a vet and a black dude. Definitely would be a friend of jack reacher lol

[@mcxl1229]

Do y’all watch these movies fr??! He CLEARLY said that he sold his car for a portion of the cash he had on him.

[@graymoon3000]

Also the last 15 minutes of the movie were awesome. The lady cop brilliant took control of the situation and did the right thing which inspired the other cops to do the same.

[@HorseJoint]

20:21. Naaaaaah. Just nah man. Come on “Julian”🤦🏾‍♂️ (Also) “Aaron Pierre” IS a Leading man, and he need’s more Roles. Loved him in this movie man.

[@ayodraws2720]

The tension and the build up was everything to me! I loved it alot! I just love good realistic dialogue and reasoning in movies ❤❤
