7/10
Actually a fairly decent and enjoyable B-film.
Top_Dawg_Critic18 July 2023
This film is editor and writer Will Gilbey's first full-length feature film directorial debut, and he did not disappoint. The film isn't perfect by any means, but considering the filmmaker is not a seasoned pro, there's some forgiveness allowed for typical newb filmmaker rookie mistakes. There weren't many mistakes, and aside from some plot and technical issues, everything else was pretty much on point. The comfortable 87 min runtime flew by with decent pacing, and a story that had a great flow to it, as well as constant tension and suspense. There were some decent twists thrown in for good measure. The casting and performances were good, and the cinematography and score spot on, especially for a B-film. It's actually one of the better B-films I've seen in a while. It's a great one-time watch I'm sure everyone will enjoy, especially with all the big budget Hollywood blockbusters that have come out recently and have disappointed. It's a well deserved 7/10 from me.

Modern version of Assault On Precinct 13.
deloudelouvain22 February 2024
Jericho Ridge is another rip-off of John Carpenter's Assault On Precinct 13 (from 1976). It's not the first time they used that story to make a movie and this one is certainly not the worst. I thought it was entertaining the whole time. It's just a more modern version of Assault On Precinct 13. Nikki Amuka-Bird plays the main character and she was very believable in her performance. The acting from the small cast wasn't bad at all. Constant action makes it worth watching. Maybe not always the best decisions were made during the assault but you could blame the stress that comes with it. In short, I've seen worse movies in this genre.

Exceeded my expectations
sbcxynkt4 October 2023
I put this on expecting it to be background noise while I worked on my laptop but was immediately drawn into the story. The premise is pretty basic and we've seen it a million times but you don't mind it here because all the characters, even the side ones, immediately feel like real people with real baggage. The acting in general is solid all around but Amuka-Bird is amazing. The action is pretty brutal too. There are some scenes where you know what's about to happen but the impact of the violence still hits. Between this and Average Joe, also on BET+, the service is starting to come into its own. The app itself is still trash but that is a different story.

Kept me entertained!!!

Warning: Spoilers
Great action!!!, a real thriller. I didn't expect this great action movie at all. Never heard of this movie. The police backup took forever to come but the female deputy held her own. When you need to protect your own nothing can hold you back!!!! I love watching unknown movies like this with no reviews, that way I can enjoy watching and form my own opinion of it. This was very well written, with great acting from everyone. I recommend this for anyone to watch, the movie didn't slack on an action with lots of thrilling moments when you think it's over for the deputy. It keeps you on the edge of the couch.

It is not the first and certainly won't be the last
searchanddestroy-128 December 2023
Since ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, back in 1976, there were batches of films that we can consider as rip-offs, many many, many, the latest being COP SHOP, more or less the same as this one; more or less, directed by the confirmed Joe Carnahan, which was more interesting than this predictable one. And because we are living now the famous WOKE period, the lead strong character is of course a Black woman. I have absolutely nothing against it, I just notice, that's all. That said, this little B film, action movie, is an agreeable flick, very enjoyable, but for an old timer like me, a movie buff since fifty five years now, there is nothing exceptional in the script. Now, the directing is efficient, taut.

A crime thriller that turns the suspense up to 11!
menorman-0599116 May 2024
A crime thriller that turns the suspense up to 11!!!! Jericho Ridge is a great way to tell a story that although you might be somewhat familiar with, still manages to keep you on the edge of your seat. A small police department gets broken into that creates a night of chaos! Very well acted, with a really tight cast that brings it all to the table.

Written and directed by Will Gilbey, who really knows how to keep the tension going.

Definitely worth a look for anyone who digs action/crime movies.
