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.

3/5

Joe Carnahan's crime thriller feels like a nice throwback to '90s genre pictures, but it pulls a few too many punches.

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.

A Netflix urban cop corruption thriller set in Miami that owes a lot more to the Den of Thieves movies than to either incarnation of Michael Mann’s Miami Vice.

The Rip is a frustrating missed opportunity. It takes a golden premise and two of cinema’s best friends and buries them under a mountain of plot holes.

Little by little “The Rip” devolves into a b-the-numbers action flick. The cast is strong, but they’re at the mercy of the material.

It was entertaining. It was fun something to watch what it wasn’t was plausible. It has some issues with like could this actually go down like this? Is this actually how stuff like this could happen or would happen but aside from those little things I enjoyed myself you know what I mean, like it was enjoyable so if you want something fun something that’s gonna take you serious then I think this would be a good flick for you to watch you do have that great dynamic of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck acting with each other, which is pretty extraordinary

The last few movies with these two feel like they are just making content to score a paycheck.

Predictable at times, but the cast shines and the twists keep it engaging — a solid, entertaining action flick. Did exactly what it needed to do: kept me hooked and happily along for the ride.
