On October 26, 1970, during Muhammad Ali’s comeback fight in Atlanta against Jerry Quarry, a large gathering of partygoers, including some influential figures in the criminal underworld, were victims of a robbery at a suburban after-party. This event was widely covered in the media at the time and has more recently been explored in a true-crime podcast titled “Fight Night.” Now, this story has been reimagined by Shaye Ogbonna (“The Chi”) into an elaborate miniseries called “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist,” premiering on Peacock on Thursday. The series features a star-studded cast playing fictional roles based on the events.

In Jeremy Saulnier’s movie “Rebel Ridge,” we see a gritty, Rambo-esque exploration of racial profiling and the subtle, disturbing darkness embedded within U.S. law enforcement. Throughout the film, Saulnier showcases his exceptional talent for creating tense action thrillers, a skill he has been demonstrating since his 2013 release “Blue Ruin.” This expertise is further evident in “Green Room” (2016) and “Hold the Dark” (2018). However, in “Rebel Ridge,” Saulnier’s exploration of setting and pacing surpasses anything he has done previously. He skillfully switches between meticulous control and intense bursts of action over the course of more than two hours.
