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.
