Our take
Rebel Ridge is a tense thriller about a former Marine whose cash is taken by local police when he tries to post bail. Expect frequent f-word language, rifles, a stabbing, weed talk, and a kidnapping beat. "Suicide by cop" is named as a police category, not a how-to. Older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
A former Marine confronts corruption in a small town when local law enforcement unjustly seizes the bag of cash he needs to post his cousin's bail.

Talk after watching
- Power and a badge sit on one side of a quiet road. What does fairness look like here?
- A cousin is in jail. How far would you go to get someone out?
- The film is angry about process. What would you want a teen to take from that?
