One of those movies that shouldn't have been made

You just can't get enough of it! You know a movie is good when it takes you to a place you don’t want to leave, a world you want to linger in before snapping back to reality. All the cast delivered flawlessly, and the soundtrack and scores are punchy, elevating every moment.

When I first saw the trailer for Rebel Ridge, my anticipation skyrocketed. It promised a gripping, action-packed thriller, but unfortunately, the movie didn’t live up to those expectations. The pacing was painfully slow, and while I kept waiting for the action to kick in, whenever it did, it ended far too quickly. It felt like two minutes of action followed by 30 minutes of dialogue that just dragged on. The main character, portrayed as a skilled ex-Marine, seemed underutilized. His supposed expertise didn’t reflect much in his actions, leaving me disappointed by how little his background played into the overall story. Overall, the movie failed to deliver on the excitement and intensity teased in the trailer.

Faultlessly delivered, what an inspiring story.

Not sure why this movie was acted at all. As I kept watching, I was waiting for it to make sense, but it didn't happen.
