Netflix’s recent slate of original movies has been pretty terrible. New flicks like “The Union”, “Incoming” and “The Deliverance” all managed a No. 1 rank in the streaming service’s top 10 over the past few weeks, but are anything but watchlist worthy.
So, after a summer of (mostly) underwhelming Netflix originals, I braced myself for another misfire with the streamer’s new action-thriller “Rebel Ridge”. However, the very positive early reviews (the movie has a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes), had me wondering if the losing streak was about to break, and now having seen the flick, I’m delighted to report it’s the easily best Netflix original movie in over a month.
