Rebel Ridge on Netflix

Its really freaking good, I watched it yesterday, it was getting buzz all over the internet so I went in with relatively high expectations for a Netflix movie and it lived up to the hype, coulda been a theater release, not just a "dump to streaming" action thriller

Great slow burn storyline that took a couple twists and turns along the way and had some pretty good action sequences

The main guy is a good actor, i expect to him in some more bigger stuff soon

Its a shame to see what became of Roy, though, I thought he got rich after Pam cheated on him, guess his hot new wife prolly took everything and left him after he got bald and fat
 
Definitely sucks to get a target on your back from a douchebag local cop.


Storytime:

Circa 2010. I am taking classes to wrap up finishing my bachelors degree in music (after dropping out to play for a living in .: 2000)

On my ride home a cop nearly hit me as he blew through a stop sign while HE was on a cellphone.

Fucking little napoleon syndrome cocksucker writes ME a ticket for driving on a cell phone (which got thrown out in court) and must have told his cocksucker cop buddies to target my car, so in the weeks that followed any time I saw a cop while driving in that town I get pulled over. Mind you I had not had a ticket in 15+ years at that time and the only time I have gotten a ticket in a 20 year span was while driving that car in that town.


I wound up having to sell that car.

I know not ALL cops are cocksuckers. But there are a few of them working overtime to pick up the slack for the rest.

I may not watch this film.
I feel like there is a decent chance it will piss me off.

Also, since it is a movie... i am sure the guy wins in the end which is not real-life. In real life the crooked cops would plant evidence and put the innocent man in prison and ruin his life, especially if he dared to stick up for himself or not thank them for fucking him in the ass.

(Also just a guess but I bet it plays on the currently saturated trope of "all white people are evil racists" which is getting tiring for me.)

Maybe watch the movie before you imagine false reasons to hate it, you may be shocked at how wrong you were
SHOCKED!!
 
It's a good movie.

Lots of people who've seen it say that the main actor would be a great cast for Green Latern.
 
This movie is slightly above average, if that. There's no big payoff either. They easily could have cut thirty minutes from this movie and made the showdown a bit more action packed. The acting was solid, but the plot was paint by numbers. Outside of the cast, I thought it fell a bit short. A 6/10 for me.
 
I watched it a few nights ago and liked it.

That would be a pleasant surprise. The trailer gives that vibe pretty hard as does the entirety of the film industry in the last 10 or so years.
 
I thought about making a thread about after watching it. I thought it was flat. It wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't great.
At a glance it's a good movie but something about it felt really flat to me.
It's like it had all the ingredients to be a good movie but it was missing something.
I think the main problem was the character development. The movie spends so much time with him but you don't really know him as a person. The same goes for any of the other characters really. The Serpico reveal was also kind of sudden because the character had no development. It literally could have been any cop.

In general I feel this way about almost all movies made by netflix.

The movie with the Rock did the same story but better.
 
I saw it described as a thinking man's Rambo. I don't know about that but I enjoyed the movie enough to finish it. I was expecting a bit more action though.

More like first Blood if Rambo didn't want to kill anyone, use guns , didnt even throw punches - just grappling.
 
For a Netflix movie it was good. I enjoyed it and finished the movie.

Reminded me of Rambo.

First Blood is actually a thinking man's Rambo, in my opinion. First Blood Part II, not so much. At least Murdock got what was coming to him, though.
