And a final viewer praised: “Rebel Ridge is a good watch. Great acting! It's not as action packed as I was hoping, but it's still good. Idk if the ending was meant as a cliffhanger, but we need more of Aaron Pierre!”

“The script is of such a high quality that I was immediately thrilled to even be in connection with it. And when I got connected with Jeremy, that was one of the first things I articulated to him - the nuance, details and dynamic nature of not only the script but all of the characters. It just is a beautiful screenplay.
“So, for me, it was undeniable. There’s no world where I would’ve said anything but yes to be part of this project.”
Rebel Ridge is available to stream on Netflix now.
