Star-making performance propels Netflix revenge thriller 'Rebel Ridge'

Aaron Pierre stars in director Jeremy Saulnier's tale of biased, corrupt cops who seize an innocent man's money — with potentially dire consequences.

In Jeremy Saulnier’s “Rebel Ridge,” a 'Rambo'-inspired riff on racial profiling and the insidious banality of evil baked into American policing, the filmmaker demonstrates his mastery of the taut action thriller. His skill with this subgenre has been on display since “Blue Ruin” , through “Green Room” and “Hold the Dark” .

But Terry’s money disappears into a property locker, where it will remain until he can contest the seizure in court, months later. A spunky young legal aide, Summer , also informs him that the police department makes a habit of these seizures to fund its budget , after a civil suit resulted in a perfunctory “cleanup” of their corrupt practices.
