The Rip

When a Miami narcotics squad uncovers a hidden stash with millions in cash, the find becomes a powder keg for the squad itself. The money's presence triggers a cascade of mistrust, half truths, and shifting loyalties as officers question who pulled the trigger and who kept secrets under wraps. With cash drawing in criminals and colleagues alike, the investigation strains personal bonds and professional codes. The film follows their scramble to control the fallout, even as the line between right and wrong blurs under pressure and greed. Alliances wobble, leads multiply, and every choice seems to carry a heavy price. The pace stays brisk, keeping viewers on edge.

Directed by Joe Carnahan from a script by Michael McGrale, The Rip teams Matt Damon as Lt. Dane Dumars and Ben Affleck as Det. Sgt. JD Byrne, with a high octane urban edge and a sun drenched Miami backdrop that heightens the sense of urgency. The project leans on Coral Gables grit and a volatile ledger of loyalties, with sharp dialogue and tense close quarters. The collaboration between Damon and Affleck adds a familiar rhythm for audiences while supporting players like Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle and Kyle Chandler help complicate the web of motives.

Box office data for The Rip has not been released publicly and no worldwide figures are available yet. The production and distributor plan a broad theatrical rollout, which could influence its eventual performance and audience reach.

There are no major award nominations announced for The Rip at this stage. The ensemble cast pairs veteran screen presence with rising talent, a combination that could draw attention as the release widens. Critics will assess whether the film sustains tension through its procedural rhythm and character dynamics.

Themes revolve around trust under pressure, the corrupting pull of money, and the fragile bonds among colleagues who police each other. If Carnahan keeps the pace tight and the dialogue crisp, The Rip could click with fans of police procedurals and urban thrillers, offering a brisk, morally shaded ride that leans into moral ambiguity while delivering brisk action and sharp turns.
