Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have been close friends since they were in high school together, and anyone remotely familiar with their body of work also knows they have a long history of professionally collaborating together. This began when they starred in and wrote 1997’s Good Will Hunting, which netted them the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Their latest team-up is the cop thriller The Rip, one of the first 2026 movie releases. A new trailer for this Netflix subscription-exclusive feature has been released, and I’m already getting tense about what’s in store for these characters.
Damon and Affleck respective star as Lieutenant Dane Dumars and Detective Sergeant JD Byrne in this story about a group of Miami cops who discover millions of dollars stored in barrels inside a derelict house. Naturally that amount of money is going to cause problems when they start splitting it amongst themselves, and when outside forces learn about its seizure, they start to wonder if they even trust each other. We even see Dumars question if Byrne is a snitch, and I’m wondering if one of them will be among the dead by the time The Rip is over, because you know a lot of bodies are going to be dropped.
