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.

Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Jan 28
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. Go to Full Review
Matt Goldberg TheWrap Jan 28
3/5
Joe Carnahan's crime thriller feels like a nice throwback to '90s genre pictures, but it pulls a few too many punches. Go to Full Review
Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) Jan 27
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. Go to Full Review
Dan Buffa Ramble On With Buffa (Substack) 4d
While Affleck burrows himself in the role of a blunt yet noble cop, it’s Damon who gives the best performance in the film as the Lieutenant who has to decide what to do and how to locate a snitch. They're aging like fine wine. Go to Full Review

'The Rip' tears up the screen with Affleck, Damoon in a tense cop thriller. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
It all sits on the most medium level of meat and potatoes genre fare without ever doing anything good, bad or weird enough to risk that watchable yet forgettable status. Go to Full Review

Kyle M 1h One of the more solid, intellectual action thrillers exceptionally played out against any expectations, especially with Damon and Affleck performatively, and exemplarily, culminates their professional partnership to an entertaining height. (B+) See more Dante F @Dante_Felton 5h Just everything you'd want in a film! See more Alex J. @alexjohnston10 6h What a twist! Well done boys. See more Mr B @Brody_123 8h The film starts with what appears to be a standard police operation, but it soon spirals into a tense psychological game. As the officers face mounting pressure, personal motives surface and trust begins to fracture. What begins as an unexpected cash find transforms into a sharp examination of loyalty, driven by clever twists and persistent moral uncertainty that sustain the film’s tension throughout. See more Paul B @OddBurton 9h Perhaps the best part of this movie is reading reviews. My favorite is one that says, "A stupid movie, totally implausible". Yet, in the opening credits, it says, "Based on a true story". I had zero expectations when I sat down with a bowl of popcorn and nothing to do for a couple hours. Nothing about this film will make swoon with admiration, but it may cause you to question a few things about law enforcement. It's a solid but standard whodunit cop film with a couple pretty well done twists that won't leave you irritated after the closing credits begin to roll. See more Alfredo S. @alsuarez 23h El dúo de Ben Affleck con MattDamon no falla, tienen una química increíble y llevan la trama de una manera certera que no hace tan evidente el desenlace final.
