"Rebel Ridge (Saulnier, 2024)"

aka Black Reacher

I mostly enjoyed this. Aaron Pierre and Don Johnson are great in it and whenever they're in a scene together the movie hits an extra gear.

It's overlong by like an easy 20 minutes and Saulnier works a little too hard to subvert genre expectations. This could have been a TNT Dad movie classic and everything I wanted and didn't get from McQuarrie's Jack Reacher. But it's not quite there and that's due largely to pacing issues. It's good and has great elements but to have an actor with he physicality and presence of Pierre playing a human weapon and not unleash him is somewhat frustrating. I mean, I love genre subversion as and undercutting of violence as a narrative solution as much as the next guy etc buuuuuut....spoiler in next post

A lot of you players ain't okay.

We would have been better off with an okaycivics board instead of an okayactivist board
