Aaron Pierre is a star in the making, and Jeremy Saulnier's new Netflix thriller, “Rebel Ridge,' shows you why.

“I had to employ a level of trickery on my brain,” Pierre says. “This character that Jerry Saulnier has written and created, is so badass. It’s understandably, deeply tempting to do too much. I said to Jeremy I had to do my best to normalize how cool Terry Richmond was.” “I miss texture,” says Saulnier. “Like seeing shocks on cars and knowing you’re in a real vehicle, even when you’re doing a dialogue scene. That level of veracity, I think, is being removed from moviemaking. If the top tier filmmakers with $100 million-plus budgets can’t sell an interior car dialogue sequence, let’s just go back to basics.”
Pierre grew up in a counsel estate in West Croydon. His father, he says, is an actor, teacher and life coach; his mother has been, among other things, a project manager. He speaks glowingly about them and of his London youth. Working with Jenkins, Pierre began finding himself as a screen actor. Jenkins, he says, taught him to put truth and honesty above all else in performance. On his first day on set, Jenkins approached him about an important scene that wasn’t landing.
“There were certainly forks in the road where I could have tapped out, and been fine,” Saulnier says. “I dug in and made sure whatever version we ended up with, if it wasn’t the best version possible, it would have been better on a shelf. The fight was to hold the line at quality.”, which is when police can seize money purely on suspicion. There are some echoes of movies like “Mississippi Burning,” Saulnier grants, in how “Rebel Ridge” captures a Black man ensnarled by Southern racism.
