Rebel Ridge

Unless I'm mistaken, John Boyega was supposed to have the lead role in this but it went to Aaron Pierre instead. I'm glad he got the role cause I really liked him in it. I hope we get him in more action roles in the future. There are three things I quite liked in this, besides the action: 1. We know this guy is meant to be an ex-marine because of the tagline but they make it seem like he's into some shady shit at the beginning of the movie, and no, I don't mean when he was detained at the very start. It was fun. 2. Being a woke AF anti-theist (that's someone opposed to organized religion) I really liked the line: "I don't know enough about the afterlife to trust in it, so while I'm here, [...] I gotta haunt these motherfuckers myself." That line was hard. 3. The ending. They were building up to it throughout various scenes and I enjoyed watching it play out. I hope that was sufficiently vague enough to not spoil it. I initially rated this 8 stars with a favorite, but to offset those irrational 1 star ratings, I'm gonna give it 10. I can understand 5 stars and up, but I can't understand 2 and 1. I'm not a film critic and I'm not racist. I'm just someone who enjoys movies.
