What to Know

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.

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

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

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
James Croot The Post NZ 5h
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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

dito D @RT27862978 11h Imperfect, but absolutely worth your time! See more Lucinda W @RT24828216 2d 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. See more Matthew S. @RottinPlums 3d 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. See more R L @RT71758718 3d What a money grab pile of crap. Talk about destroy your legacy See more Nathan J. @NathanDirector 5d Rating: 7.2/10 ⭐️ I expected a standard cartel film, but the paranoia of a team turning on each other totally hooked me. What Worked: Carnahan’s low-light stash house creates claustrophobia that makes the tension feel earned. Damon brings heavy grief that anchors the heist. Through my Methodist faith lens, seeing officers wrestle with the pull of $20 million reinforced my beliefs about fragile integrity and our desperate need for grace. The Cuts: Repeating exposition for phone-scrollers made the middle part really drag for me. Keeping it spoiler-free, the convoluted third-act double-crosses got exhausting. Front-loading the action also meant the pacing totally stalled out; it was just spinning its wheels waiting for the finale. Verdict: A gritty thriller nailing broken trust. Fun for Damon/Affleck fans, skip if you hate convoluted betrayals. Favorite Line: “We’re standing on twenty million reasons not to trust each other.” See more andrea C @Charst Mar 31 Grande cast e sceneggiatura dinamica che predilige il ritmo e il climax alle sottigliezze tecniche. La trama è semplice ma non disdegna qualche colpo di scena, tra cui senza dubbio il migliore è quello dell'estraneità del cartello alla sparatoria, seppure i rapporti tra i poliziotti e le dinamiche con cui si evolvono le posizioni non sono sempre chiari ed anzi, per alcuni tratti c'è un po' di confusione. Il finale che collega tutti i puntini chiude praticamente tutte le dinamiche aperte. Buone le sequenze di azione e ovviamente il cast aiuta ad avvicinarsi ai personaggi e a sentire maggiormente la tensione. See more Read all reviews
