Damon and Affleck's classic chemistry powers this Miami-set crime thriller about a team of corrupt cops who discover millions in drug money � and immediately begin destroying each other over the divide.
Damon and Affleck, Reunited
The central thrill of The Rip is simple: watching Damon and Affleck � the men who reshaped their careers with Good Will Hunting in 1997 � face each other across the ruins of a friendship destroyed by greed. Director David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water) understands exactly how to use that chemistry as both warmth and weapon. Miami narcotics detectives Neil and Frank discover $8M in a derelict stash house. What follows is the forensic dismantling of a partnership through jealousy, paranoia, and the corrupting arithmetic of sudden wealth.
"Mackenzie leverages their classic chemistry to texturize a friendship tested by greed. The Rip tears into its potboiler setup with compulsively watchable confidence."
