Netflix’s New Action Thriller Debuts Today — and It’s Got a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes

Longtime Netflix subscribers may have noticed a lack of standout original films lately. While titles like Hit Man and Baby Reindeer have made impressive splashes this year, few other releases have garnered the same level of attention. But Netflix’s new action thriller Rebel Ridge looks set to be the next big hit to hit the streaming service.

With rave initial reviews and a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Rebel Ridge is set to deliver the thrill moviegoers have been waiting for. The film stars Aaron Pierre as Terry Richmond, a former Marine with exceptional martial arts and survival skills. When he crosses paths with a ruthless police chief, he must put his extraordinary skills to the ultimate test. Critics have called the film a “knockout,” with some calling Pierre the next “big action star.”
