First trailer for Netflix's Rebel Ridge movie looks like a modern retelling of iconic 80s action film Rambo, and I'm all in

Characters Terry Richmond and Sandy Burrne stand face to face in Netflix's Rebel Ridge .

Netflix has some pretty solid choices across its catalog of action and crime titles, including movies like Martin Scorsese's The Irishman (2019), and it's about to get bigger with the addition of a new crime thriller called Rebel Ridge. The movie comes from the mind behind A24’s Green Room (2015), Jeremy Saulnier, who has reprised his role as writer and director for the new Netflix movie, which is set to arrive on one of the best streaming services on September 6. 

In the trailer (see below), which dropped yesterday (August 7), Aaron Pierre bursts into the frame as Terry Richmond, who arrives in the small town of Shelby Springs on a mission to post his cousin’s bail and free him. It’s not long before his mission becomes a complicated situation when law enforcement unfairly seize his life’s savings, and police chief Sandy Burnne (Don Johnson) and a team of fellow officers stand in his way of saving his cousin. Sounds familiar? You're not alone. The trailer makes it appear like a modern take on the ‘80s classic Rambo.
