The Rip on Netflix is a 2026 crime thriller starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as Miami-Dade narcotics officers who uncover a massive, $20 million cash stash in a drug house. Directed by Joe Carnahan, the film focuses on the intense paranoia and breakdown of trust among the team when they decide to steal the money.
It's always good to see Ben Affleck and Matt Damon together in a movie. Affleck and Damon have starred together in approximately 9 to 14 films, depending on whether uncredited roles and cameos are included, with their collaboration spanning from Field of Dreams (1989) to this movie, The Rip. Their most notable on-screen collaborations include Good Will Hunting (1997), Dogma (1999), The Last Duel (2021), and Air (2023).
In the case of this movie both actors put on a good performance and the movie does a good job of building up a sense where you think things are going in one direction and then it changes. Is the movie worth watching? Absolutely. Take 2 hours, and watch the movie the next chance you get on Netflix.
Out of 10 Popcorn Kernels, I give it a 7.
