Netflixs The Rip Reunites Damon and Affleck in Thriller

Netflix's latest crime thriller, "The Rip," arrives on the streaming platform Friday, reuniting actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as Miami narcotics officers whose discovery of a massive drug cartel stash house unravels trust within their team. The film, directed and written by Joe Carnahan, unfolds over a single foggy night in South Florida and premieres globally on January 16, 2025, at midnight Pacific Time.

In the story, Lieutenant Dane Dumars, played by Damon, leads a tactical narcotics team that responds to a tip about a rundown stash house initially believed to contain $150,000 in hidden cash. Upon breaching the location, the officers uncover more than $20 million, transforming a routine raid into a tense siege marked by suspicion and betrayal. The plot begins with the fatal shooting of a fellow detective, sparking internal interrogations within the Miami police department and highlighting widespread dysfunction amid cartel influence. As the team debates whether to report the find, a mysterious phone call threatens their lives unless they take a smaller cut and flee, forcing each member to question loyalties and motives.
