The Rip isn’t a bad film. It also isn’t on my list of best law enforcement movies I’d recommend.
From director and co-writer Joe Carnahan, the Miami-set crime/action/drama follows a group of cops who discover a stash of twenty million dollars in cash. When outsiders learn about the money, the officers find themselves uncertain of who to trust.
The entire cast, including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Steven Yeun, perform well. There are some well-executed, suspenseful moments, and the story structure isn’t bad. I just enjoyed arguably comparable films such as Training Day (2001) and End of Watch (2012) far more, partly because of their sharper, more intricate plots and their use of humour (dark or otherwise), something largely missing in The Rip.
Have you seen The Rip?
Happy Film Loving,

I saw it. It didn’t float my boat.
Fully understandable, Lisa. 🤓 We’ll just have to look forward to the next Matt/Ben collaboration. 🥂
meh -)
Yep! 🤓🥂
I like your opening paragraph. 😁
I haven’t seen it and the Feri got from the trailer was not great. I still might watch it because of the onscreen reunion of the two leads but then again wasn’t the curiosity that killed the cat? 😸
*the feeling I got from the trailer
How that autocorrect happened will baffle me to the end of days 🫠
There’s a sense of humour to autocorrect. It’s looking to amuse itself by catching us out every time, like an occasionally annoying sibling. At least that’s how it feels a lot of the time,
Curiosity really did kill cat. 🤓 But of course, not always.
I meant to add, thank you for the compliment. Sometimes one just has to get right to the point. 🤓🥂
