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.

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.

This movie has a lot of problems...particularly with how slow it is. You get some decent performances from Damon and Affleck but most of the scenes felt empty.

With a cast of this caliber, this should have been a stronger film. It felt dumbed down and like they held their punches.

Maybe if Carnahan took advantage of the Damon-Affleck chemistry, injecting some comic relief, the film would be more entertaining. He doesn't.

As others have commented, the ending is a little far-fetched, but don't let that put you off. RIP is a really enjoyable film with plenty of twists and turns that keep you guessing throughout. The pace is good, the tension builds nicely, and there are enough surprises along the way to keep things interesting. It might not be the most believable ending, but overall it's an entertaining watch and one I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely worth a watch if you like drama / thrillers with a few unexpected developments.

An entertaining action thriller—with a bit less action and more drama, yet still highly engaging. The lead duo, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, fit their roles perfectly and seem to be having a great time filming. The rest of the cast is excellent, too. The action sequences are well-shot, the premise is simple, and the conclusion is satisfying. The downside is that the story is very simple; the script could have been a bit more compelling. Even so, it was an entertaining experience.
