The Rip Movie Review — Ben Affleck and Matt Damon elevate an underwhelming, generic thriller with strong performances and a few tense moments, but familiar beats and flat execution keep it from standing out.
In our movie review of The Rip, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon do what they can to elevate a thriller that never fully finds its footing. While the performances — especially from Affleck, Damon, and Sasha Calle — are strong, the film feels overly familiar, with a generic story and flat execution. There are a few suspenseful sequences that work, but overall, The Rip is nothing we haven’t already seen before.
Synopsis: After a team of Miami cops discovers millions in cash inside a derelict stash house, trust frays as everything — and everyone — is called into question.
Starring: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Kyle Chandler, Steven Yeun, Scott Adkins
Directed by: Joe Carnahan | Written by: Joe Carnahan
