I'd seen the trailer and posters for this film in many places, but for some reason it didn't impress me at all. I found it boring to watch. The acting was good, but the script was slow and dialogue-heavy, which was one of the main reasons it was boring. However, the effects were good. Is it worth watching? I think those who like crime and spy films will enjoy it. Also, some of the actors are familiar faces. I think …

Full review: https://movieswetextedabout.com/the-rip-movie-review-matt-damon-and-ben-affleck-shine-in-a-twisty-thriller-that-surpasses-expectations/ Rating: B "The Rip reveals itself to be an intriguing surprise that swaps easy pyrotechnics for psychological tension, leaning on the undeniable charisma of the Matt Damon and Ben Affleck duo and a steady direction by Joe Carnahan that values spatial containment. …

82/100 After a drug task force gets a tip on a money stash, that turns out to be over $20 million, they find themselves under siege. Being as Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are good friends, it was fun to see them together and they dominated the screen in every scene they were in with the help of a tremendous supporting cast. The story keeps you guessing as to what is really going on, even to the point where the cops …

Really solid action-thriller from Joe Carnahan and showcases the great bro chemistry between Affleck and Damon. This is, albeit I've only watched a handful so far, best Netflix movie and doesn't have that obvious AI written dialogue thankfully. I did see one twist coming only because this actor also played a traitor in another Netflix movie I watched, but still a fun and entertaining flick. 3.75/5

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck star in Joe Carnahan's The Rip, good enough to make you regret that you can’t see this kind of thing in a cinema anymore; a rough, tough, dramatic action movie that moves with stealth and genuine purpose to a satisfying, fiery finale. 4/5 film-authority.com/2026/01/17/t...
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 200 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 9, 2026. Method
Critics, per Wikipedia
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 77% of 160 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.5/10. The website's consensus reads: "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." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 63 out of 100 based on 32 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. Travis Andrews of The Washington Post awarded the film 2.5 out of 4 stars, described it as "fine genre fare" apt to please audiences who enjoy crime movies but more likely to disappoint others with clichés and overly long…

60 of 236 · most liked firstMatt Damon is a cop with a beard who admits that he hates being a cop and we're not ten minutes into this classic. The Rip is one of the most War Dads: Dads Who War Good film anyone has made in almost a decade. This movie has a Farmer's Almanac in the bathroom.
positive · AI labelView post →THE RIP totally rips. Really tasty tough guy shtick backed up by some confident filmmaking. The ideal Netflix movie, in that it would feel at home on cable with commercial breaks (see also: REBEL RIDGE, CARRY-ON). Good enough to get to me click the little heart on Letterboxd. #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the harder to defend movie opinions I have is that Joe Carnahan is Onto Something, and while he's not made many movies that are good all the way through we'd be better off with more distinctive/overstated genre filmmakers like him. That said, The Rip is 133 minutes and I'm not a young man.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m sure a lot of people are stoked that a big movie like THE RIP went direct to streaming this weekend but I long for the days when mid-tier genre programmers like that dropped in the local multiplex every weekend. I haven’t watched yet, and will, but I’d definitely have seen it by now in a cinema.
neutral · AI labelView post →Related: The Rip is one of those movies infamous for Netflix decreeing they have characters repeat the plot over and over. But the movie handles it brilliantly. The characters repeat plot to fill in another character whose reaction introduces new tension, or to reveal a new plot twist.

neutral · AI labelView post →As others have said, the first 2/3rds of "The Rip" is thrilling and taut, even if it was a $2 million movie that somehow cost $100 million. The last third is nonsense. For Ben Affleck straight-to-Netflix releases about swaggering masculinity, professionalism and greed, I take "Triple Frontier."
neutral · AI labelView post →“THE RIP is the rare Netflix original action film that actually plays like something you’d want to see in theaters,” writes @briantallerico.bsky.social, sharing "This is the kind of movie in which you’re constantly questioning who’s dirty, who’s clean, or if everyone is somewhere along the spectrum"
neutral · AI labelView post →The problem with big budget movies today (& why they become expensive) is all genres end up being ACTION movies. Frankenstein is an ACTION movie dressed as horror. 3/4s of The Rip is a great cop film. The rest pure ACTION. And the problem with ACTION is it stops story (It shouldn’t but it does).

neutral · AI labelView post →THE RIP (2026): It starts and ends as a slick B-movie thriller, which would be more than enough given the cast and Carnahan’s direction. But there’s about a 40-minute run in the middle where it almost feels like a horror movie — the growing terror of THE MIST, but for cops. Really fun stuff.

neutral · AI labelView post →THE RIP: A quick and easy watch, a good old-fashioned cops-and-robbers movie. I'll forgive the eye-roll-inducing ending, but oh man, did I roll my eyes. This definitely set the record for the most times a movie's title (that wasn't just a character's name) was said out loud during the movie.
