Watching a Jeremy Saulnier thriller is a unique experience. Each film offers an interesting yet differing take and viewpoint, all while chilling the audience to the bone. Blue Ruin explores revenge by way of a mysterious, unfurling plotline; Green Room is the best horror film about the Neo-Nazi punk rock scene ever made, ultimately curling back into subtle (hair-raising) satire, and Hold The Dark explores animalistic mythos and portrays Alaska as it’s never been seen on film before. In his new thriller Rebel Ridge, director Saulnier teams up with rising star Aaron Pierre (Foe, Mufasa: The Lion King) to explore themes of law and corruption sure to keep the audience in maddening, spell-binding suspense from beginning to end. Rebel Ridge is set in the town of Shelby Springs. After Pierre’s level-headed Terry Richmond tries to post bail for his cousin, his savings are unjustly seized by corrupt local police Chief Sandy Burnne, played by Miami Vice's Don Johnson. With the help of court clerk Summer McBride (AnnaSophia Robb), Terry unearths a widespread conspiracy within Shelby Springs and sets to get his money back by any means necessary. From sprinting through pyrotechnics to politely asking for a twelfth take in the sweltering heat, Collider’s Steven Weintraub discusses all things Rebel Ridge with Saulnier and Pierre. #rebelridge #aaronpierre #jeremysaulnier For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
