Rebel Ridge

Terry Richmond enters the town of Shelby Springs on a simple but urgent mission — post bail for his cousin and save him from imminent danger.

But when Terry’s life’s savings is unjustly seized by law-enforcement, he’s forced to go head to head with local police chief Sandy Burnne and his combat-ready officers.

Terry finds an unlikely ally in court clerk Summer McBride and the two become ensnared in a deep-rooted conspiracy within the remote township.

As the stakes turn deadly, Terry must call upon his mysterious background to break the department’s hold on the community, bring justice to his own family– and protect Summer in the process.

Action movies have been knocking off First Blood ever since it debuted in 1982, but Jeremy Saulnier’s Rebel Ridge is the rare example of a riff that doesn’t just mimic the format but does so well and smartly updates it. This is brace-yourself filmmaking that fully makes good on the promise that’s implied as Iron Maiden’s “The Number of the Beast” blares over the opening moments.
