Pick of the week
The Rip
A propulsive cop thriller whose selling point is Ben Affleck and Matt Damon starring together for the first time since 2023’s Air. They play best friends and officers in a Miami tactical narcotics team – one maverick, the other more sensible but jaded. At the end of a shift, they get a tip-off about drug cash in a stash house. But the operation is thrown off track by what they find there – and the suspicion that there’s a corrupt cop in their unit, which includes Teyana Taylor and Steven Yeun. Director Joe Carnahan keeps the plot bustling along, while the single location stokes up the tension.
