Verdict on Jericho Ride
Jericho Ridge is a thriller following an injured deputy needing to hold her ground when a group of attackers try to rob her police station. Her partners are out on jobs, and she must figure out who wants in and what they want. All while defending herself without a weapon on hand.
This tense thriller proves you can put anyone against the odds of criminals searching for something. It shows the strength of a mother who never wants to give up on their troublemaking child. All while keeping us guessing as to what is wanted by the people involved with the attack. Nikki Amuka-Bird is wonderful in the leading role in the movie, while the supporting cast brings their psychotic ways when needed. In the end, it is an outnumbered and outgunned story, which delivers everything you would come to expect.
Where to Watch
Jericho Ridge will be in UK Cinemas from 25th April and available on Digital Download from 29th April.
Final Thoughts –Jericho Ridge is a tense outnumbered thriller.
