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 mediocre entry in the already overcrowded dirty cop genre.

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.

Strong idea, decent twist, but too action-heavy to fully work for me.

Ya I heard this had some great twists and turns and maybe it does if you have never watched a thriller before that is but I thought it was all very predictable.. Even the synopsis of the film gives away to much.. But as far as a Netflix film goes it was decent and probably would of worked better with an unknown cast

I wanted to like this movie. It was so unrealistic that I simply couldn't. What a wasted opportunity.
