“It didn’t feel real”: Netflix’s Rebel Ridge Feels More Visceral Because of ‘Sloppy’ Action That Was Deliberately Used Instead of Polished Fight Scenes
Netflix’s latest action thriller Rebel Ridge has received positive reviews all around. The Aaron Pierre and Don Johnson starrer has been appreciated for its sensitive subject matter and visceral action sequences. The film received a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has been getting rave reviews.
Filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier recently detailed how he conceived the innovative action sequences in the film. Preferring to keep the action real instead of over-the-top choreography, Saulnier reportedly pushed against polished sequences to capture the awkwardness of real-life fighting.

The action thriller Rebel Ridge is not director Jeremy Saulnier’s first action rodeo. The filmmaker is possibly best known for the slasher film Green Room and the revenge thriller Blue Ruin. He is known for his gory action set-pieces which lean towards the horror genre than adrenaline-pumping action.
