This movie is insanely reactionary. My partner loves it but it is super fucking fascist.
It has entertaning moments, and Jamie Foxx is cool. It also has Colm Meany, aka everyone's favorite
.It's funny because the whole movie is basically "we give criminals too many rights" agitprop. There's some cool kills though, and I don't entirely hate it, but a revenge like Monkey Man is more down my alley.
Hell, Rebel Ridge is similar in being about a man wronged by the system but far less reactionary.
love Saulnier, Blue Ruin and Green Room are really good so I can't wait to watch Rebel Ridge
Monkey Man I've never heard of thanks for the recommendation
Monkey man has several kills I've never seen in a movie before.
My biggest complaint about Rebel Ridge is
spoiler
The lack of kills. The main guy never actually kills any of the corrupt pigs. There's some good fights but it's all nonlethal. Which might be a satire because they are still cool.
I hate this movie, a waste of fucking time. It hooks you up at the beginning and then it increases in absurdity just for it to end with "justice been served" type of message.
All of Gerard Butler's movies are shit and cringe.
