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.

2.5/4

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.

This is a garbage movie. There is no character introduction. When Dane sais his son is dead, you dont really know who the son was. (hard to care). Nobody knew who the DEA guys where or this "Ro" guy, so when they were reveiled as the bad guys, it was hard to care. What was the point of the 2 girls counting? Who where they? They had zero effect on the plot. Why did they have to show that one of them got shot? her name was uttered maby twice in the entire movie. Why was the FBI guy JBs brother? No reason and added nothing to the plot. Why did they mention Danes promotion? It added nothing to the precieved conflict between JB and Dane. If you constantly have to comment on a relationship in the dialogue, its often the fault of bad acting or worse context. The score this movie has here and om imdb is insane. Should me astronomically lower. Maby even negative scores. I wish someone reads my review and decides to watch something else.

A passable cops/crime thriller but once the game is explained it deteriorates into something generic. First half showed the potential for some intrigue but it ended up being utterly forgettable stuff you have no reason to ever return to. Acting is ok but far from career highs for the stars who seemed to be happy with an easy paycheck. Watched on Netflix.

It’s something to watch and decent at parts. However the ending is dumb and feels like there’s no reward for slogging through the movie.

Even though I saw most of the twists coming I still enjoyed the move and said twists. It is a good who can you trust movie.

Is it me, or are movie goers able to overlook huge plot holes and ridiculous finales. Can any film just have a subtle believable ending and not descend into cartoon rubbish.
