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.

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.

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]

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.

The Rip is solid but unspectacular. It can be tense and interesting, and has a few decent twists and turns, but the third act felt underwhelming and stale. However, the build-up is strong enough for me to recommend this film.

"The movie is pretentious, tries to become a cult classic on its first attempt, and the seams are showing... the performances are dramatically over-the-top, and the plot is extremely weak—it doesn't even bother trying to explain itself. I'll tell you what really happened: they shot a movie with zero budget and adapted a plot to a single street that could be filmed without a set.and I'm sure it'll get nominated for an Oscar... because everyone is out here saying this is better than The Sixth Sense... Classic.."

Very good movie. They left great clues while still never giving everything away. Somewhat predictable, but still interesting twists at the end. Cool characters, and good chemistry between actors. Well shot. Good way to spend 2 hours. Bit unrealistic at times, especially with buddy sprinting with 80lb bag after being shot and beaten up, but no harm done. Will be watching many more Affleck directed movies now!
