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.

With all the talk about corrupt cops, we do get the impression that he [Ben Affleck] might not be one of them, but the film never expands upon JD [Ben Affleck] to give us more depth or insight into him.

In a world where there is no shortage of cop thrillers, The Rip is sheer popcorn entertainment from start to finish.

This has got to be the worst movie ever! Thought two big stars would make it great. LOL, how unrealistic and ridiculous!! That’s time watching, I’ll never get back! What a fu**ing joke of a movie!

A solid neo-noir cop story with enough paranoia and shifting loyalties to keep you locked in. I spent the whole movie trying to clock the real villain—and it doesn’t tip its hand until the end.

Despite the names attached, this is nothing more than a completely average Netflix action movie. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's scenes really pop, but outside of that there's nothing interesting happening in this movie.

They’ve been doing this for so long they know each other’s moves so the acting was pretty good because it was pretty easy flowing between them so I enjoyed the movie. It wasn’t great great but it was good enough to spend the time and I thought it was worth it.
