Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Blucher
One of the worst movies I've ever seen

I'll tell you why so serious

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

It is a contentious subject. However, it should be faced. Fact some US police do kill black Americans.So take one really serious subject and try to capitalise on it. Partly it was a story which had prospects. Add some unnecessary gratuitous sex. Add a heroin whose hair changes every time you see her. add some serious dialogue and a hodge podge of rubbish.What do you end up with ? A badly directed piece of bubblegum. The subject deserves far more than this. The storyline after the original premise is so weak it is laughable.So writers and directors you should be ashamed of yourselves. Serious subject made into trash. it deserves far more as a subject.So you get racially prejudiced people making it a mockery. You get black people trying to support it.Would I try to watch it ? Perhaps if there was nothing else on. Would I make a point of watching it..... hell no.

Not an original idea, but refreshing visuals. Generally good performances, yes and their are some throwback similarities to 70's movies. Overall, Rebel is a good watch, better than a lot of the cop shows that flash across the screen these days. I'll certainly keep watching.

Considering that I compare all shows whether they are movies or a TV series against movies such as Avalon, Quigley Down Under, Dances With Wolves or Hamlet, the Mel Gibson version, it's rather hard for a simple TV series to compare. However, imho the three critiques already listed aren't quite fair. The show so far isn't nowhere near the block buster it has been made out to be. It's nothing more than OK, depending on your tastes. Imho the main character isn't quite as tough as she needs to be to portray the character she is supposed to be. She also seems to be a bit inexperienced for the part. As far as her being a bent cop goes, uhmmm, no, not really. Nor is she playing a racist like the other critique claims she is. She is reacting no differently than anyone else would react in a similar situation. To top that off one actor doesn't beat around the bush about playing a white racist. Methinks the person writing the critique is very probably a racist himself. Dunno, don't know him but that's how his critique struck me. Anyway, for me the show was just OK. I won't go out of my way to make sure I don't miss any episodes but if it's on, I might watch it again. I do know if it doesn't improve I definitely won't be watching it again which isn't saying much actually. I get more enjoyment out of watching the news than I do anything on television anymore.

I was really hoping for something good here. Oups, Not what I got. Spoilers That character is all over the place. She's hip for 2 minutes, angry for 2 minutes, a racist for 2 minutes. What are you? She is not a cop for sure cause if they are cops like her, a mental ward is a good destination. Then she quits the police force to become a PI because she feel that the police can't do their jobs (Or don't let her kill people that she wants too) A complete farce. In 1 hour and 21 minutes (spending 3 days or 4) she has 14 different hair styles. The face time (phone call) scene is one of the most hilarious thing I have ever seen ( cause it was so bad). She stumbles on a terrorist nest but instead of calling for back-up she brings 1 of the 3 terrorists to the police station her self leaving 2 bad guys behind and the stash of explosives and weapons only to come back to a cleaned out place and cops don't believe her. If you didn't like Iron Fist or Luke Cage. After watching this one,You gonna want to throw your screen out of the window of any floor you live in.
