Upon discovering millions in cash in a derelict stash house, trust among a team of Miami cops begins to fray. As outside forces learn about the size of the seizure, everything is called into question -- including who they can rely on.

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.

Stacked with big screen talent, The Rip delivers solid entertainment to your living room— even if its second half slips into gratuitous action.

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.

4d

While somewhat tonally different to the likes of Good Will Hunting, Dogma, The Last Duel and Air, there’s no doubting this trades heavily on the bromantic chemistry between the two Cambridge, Massachusetts-raised 50-somethings.

7.5/10

While it offers little we haven’t seen, and stumbles a bit at points, the sense of unease we feel confined to essentially one location is well-executed. This feels like what we need from the genre right now.

It won’t be anyone’s idea of something special, but it does, at least, entertain.

First ten minutes there must have been over 200 unnecessary "fucks". Like WAY WAY too many, too many that it just sounded stupid, just act FFS

Honestly. A great evening watch. Twists and turns. Didn’t understand anything at the start but then got into it. I know there are some slagging comments. But tbh for a Netflix film for a chilled out evening I think most normal people would walk away satisfied and quite excited by it all. And always love Ben and Matt together.

The writing is inconsistent, in certain scenes dialogue feels forced and unnatural. The actors lack chemistry feels like they just met instead of them working together for years. Gunfight scenes are borderline unwatchable with the screen shake and the horrible VFX. Very disappointing considering the actors involved. But hey there’s a fun twist I’ll give them that.
