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.

Audience Says

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.

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.

7.5/10

While it offers little we haven’t seen, and stumbles a bit at points, the sense of unease we feel confined to essentially one location is well-executed. This feels like what we need from the genre right now.

It won’t be anyone’s idea of something special, but it does, at least, entertain.

The ingredients are all there. And certainly, The Rip delivers frequently entertaining bursts thanks largely to the game cast, but it’s not a particularly cohesive whole and leaves a lot of the firecracker potential at the door.

I feel like it is worth 4 stars but I just can't help how I felt at the end. Damon was brilliant and I guess it is brilliant writing to keep us in doubt till the very end as to his good / bad boy status but it made the film drag on without anyone to like as none of the other characters were likeable. Maybe that's just shallow thinking but by the end I wanted them all to lose.

Fantastic film! I cannot grasp what some folks are finding to be so critical of. You know the acting is good with that stacked of a cast. But the way this film unfolds is perfect. You never know exactly what is going on. There is an underlying tension throughout as a result. Really one of the best sort of cop, action, thriller, caper films I have seen in a while. Fundamentally, this is a mystery. Very good! Watch it.

What a load of rubbish, there's a drug dog outside of a tall house who an smell drugs in the attic, behind a wall and in plastic piping. As for the story line, there isn't one. Some actors need to learn their time is up. Now I only managed 31.37 minutes. Just unbearabley 👎 BAD 👎

I created a rotten tomatoes account purely to post about how bad this movie is. There’s no backstory whatsoever, so from the beginning it’s confusing and you don’t have a connection with any of the characters. The entire movie is basically one entire scene, as it all takes places in one day. There’s so many plot holes that don’t get clarified in the end. The level of stupidity of some of the scenes and decisions is ridiculous. I wasted 2 hours of my day for nothing.
