EXCLUSIVE! The Wait is Over: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Reunite for Thrilling Crime Thriller, "The Rip"
Get ready for a cinematic showdown like no other! Netflix has just dropped the first trailer for its highly anticipated crime thriller, "The Rip," and it's packed with enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. The movie boasts an all-star cast, including Hollywood heavyweights Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who are set to dazzle audiences once again.
But here's the juicy part: we finally get a glimpse of these two talented actors in character for the first time! In the electrifying trailer, Matt, 54, plays a cop caught in the middle of a high-stakes heist, while Ben, 53, portrays a senior officer whose motives are shrouded in mystery. The tension between them is palpable, and we can't wait to see what unfolds.
The story follows a team of Miami cops who receive a tip-off about a stash house containing $300,000. However, upon arrival, they discover the shocking truth: the house is packed with an astonishing $20 million in cash! It's up to Matt and Ben's characters to seize the loot, but as news spreads, questions begin to swirl about the money's ownership and what should be done with it.
As alliances start to fray and paranoia sets in, tensions between the team members rise, and you can't help but wonder: who among them is hiding something? The movie promises to deliver a gripping narrative that will keep you guessing until the very end.
But "The Rip" isn't just any crime thriller. It's also a testament to the on-screen chemistry of Matt and Ben, who have been friends for over three decades. In an exclusive interview with GQ, director Joe Carnahan teased that the film would be like a fusion of "Heat," "Narc," and "Training Day" – and we can't help but feel that's a recipe for cinematic gold.
When asked about the unique blend of genre tropes and familiar faces, Carnahan quipped: "You're playing with fire when you bring together two guys who have been on screen for 30 plus years. People are going to come in with their own ideas and preconceptions, but I think that's what makes this project so interesting."
Rounding out the talented cast is a diverse group of actors, including Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Callle, Cataline Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler. With such an impressive ensemble, it's no wonder fans are already going wild on social media.
"Every actor looks perfect for their role – a must-see!" exclaimed one fan. Another added: "I see Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in a movie together, I am watching it day one!"
The wait may be long – with the movie hitting Netflix screens on January 16, 2026 – but trust us when we say it'll be worth it. Get ready for a cinematic experience that will leave you breathless, intrigued, and begging for more.
The Rip is set to release on Netflix on January 16, 2026. Mark your calendars, folks! It's going to be a wild ride.
