Rebel Ridge Premieres on Netflix September 6

Rebel Ridge is an upcoming Netflix action-thriller directed by Jeremy Saulnier, featuring Aaron Pierre as Terry Richmond, an ex-Marine who confronts systemic corruption in a small town after his life savings are seized by local police. The film explores themes of civil asset forfeiture and law enforcement abuse, drawing parallels to classic action films like First Blood. Terry's mission to post bail for his cousin escalates into violent confrontations with the corrupt local police chief, Sandy Burnne, played by Don Johnson, as he teams up with court clerk Summer McBride, portrayed by AnnaSophia Robb. The movie is set to premiere on September 6 and promises a blend of high-stakes action and a deeper commentary on American injustices. Critics have noted the film's potential to resonate with audiences by combining intense action with emotional depth, a hallmark of Saulnier's previous works. The trailer hints at a gripping narrative that examines the fight against rampant corruption within law enforcement.
