Critics Consensus

Leveraging Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's classic chemistry to texturize a friendship tested by greed, The Rip tears into its potboiler setup with compulsively watchable confidence.

3/4

The Rip seems highly possible until its overblown climatic end, but even when it succumbs to the action thriller norms, it and the cast always keeps you thoroughly entertained.

3/5

Joe Carnahan's crime thriller feels like a nice throwback to '90s genre pictures, but it pulls a few too many punches.

2.5/4

I was entertained, even if for the longest stretches I couldn’t have told you who was doing what to whom. Chalk it up as yet another twist in the tale of Matt ‘n’ Ben – two Yin/Yang talents who will be yoked together for eternity.

3.5/4

I'm a fan of both Damon and Affleck, and found the film engaging, yet parts of it were somewhat confusing to watch. I can recommend checking it out because their chemistry is always a treat to watch.

A Netflix urban cop corruption thriller set in Miami that owes a lot more to the Den of Thieves movies than to either incarnation of Michael Mann’s Miami Vice.

1/4

The Rip is a frustrating missed opportunity. It takes a golden premise and two of cinema’s best friends and buries them under a mountain of plot holes.

Watched because the cast looked good. But it took an hour and a half for this film to get going. I probably enjoyed 10 minites of it in the end, and was quite happy when it finally ended.

This is the kind of movie you need to get to the end of to realize it’s good. Stick with it

I was not expecting such a cheesy movie, especially with Matt Damon in it. The setting and scenes felt limited. The dialogue and overall storyline were predictable, and the ending was overly sentimental and somewhat romanticized. Overall, I expected much better. Also, the excessive use of the F-word felt unnecessary, if you removed it from the dialogue, it wouldn’t hold up. It felt more like a teenage movie.
