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.

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

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
Chelsea Hui Mamamia Sep 30, 2026
If you're looking for a well-made, gritty thriller — and a reminder that Ben and Matt are the two best friends in the entire world — The Rip is definitely worth the stream. Go to Full Review
André Didyme-Dôme Rolling Stone en Español Sep 11, 2026
Its genre cinema made with skill and supported by actors who understand that, sometimes, a powerful gaze speaks louder than any explosion. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

C+
The film starts off strong, with tense moments and some intrigue, but becomes bogged down by mindless, glossy, Netflix-ized action in its final stretch. Go to Full Review

Matt H @RandommMatt91 1 day ago It was a good cop movie with two great actors that work very weak together. It was to the point and story line. See more Jacob W @RT17896586 2 days ago The Rip is a really good film showcasing the screen and production talent of both its stars. However what makes this film very special apart from the most watched movie on Netflix is that the stars wanted to ensure that everyone involved with the film had equal pay. As a result Hollywood has taken notice. See more Micah U @MicahYou 3 days ago Expectation: I had heard bad things. Im a huge Affleck fan so I still wanted to see it. What I liked: the tension in the first and second act of the movie was real for me. Once the third act came through I thought Damon did a great job setting up his character. Yeun also did great cause he played the levels. I was pleasantly surprised to see Kyle Chandler turn in a fun performance as well. The third act turns into an action film, which was not as strong as the first half. What I didn't like: the third act is a mess. It's dark, there's lots of guys running through fields and it's next to impossible to figure out what's going on. The plot is fine, but a little messy. Conclusion: The Rip is still a good time, especially at first. Doesn't exactly land the plane but the tension and performances of the first 2 acts still allowed me to have a good time.

However, I thought the beginning was very slow paced and the dialogue wasn’t amazing. Ultimately, I thought the film was a good watch and would definitely recommend it to people who enjoy suspenseful crime thrillers. See more Read all reviews
