Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are finally back together on screen, and this time, things are getting gritty.

In today’s review, we’re diving into the new Netflix original film, The Rip. This isn’t the lighthearted chemistry we’ve seen from this duo in the past—this is a raw, intense cop drama that proves why these two are powerhouses in the genre.

From the sharp dialogue to the unrelenting tension of the city streets, The Rip delivers a heavy-hitting story that kept me hooked from start to finish. We’ll discuss the performances, the direction, and why this is a must-watch for anyone who loves a solid, grounded thriller.
