"We've got you something special – the gift of never-before-seen footage from The Rip." Netflix has debuted a Christmas Day teaser trailer for The Rip, which will be streaming to watch starting early January (here's the first teaser).
A new gritty action thriller from director Joe Carnahan, who also recently made another movie called Shadow Force. This time, he's teamed up with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in a new film as pals. But they're in trouble – caught between the criminals and the cops. Upon discovering millions in cash in a derelict stash house, trust among a team of Miami cops begins to fray. As outside forces learn about the money, everything is called into question – including who they can rely on.
Carnahan describes the film as an extension of the "cop film genre," adding that it has "a real-life component, a very emotional core, and a key question that gets posed throughout the film: Are we the good guys?" A.W.T.G.G.! Damon & Affleck co-star alongside Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler. It's great to see them together again – but will this be any good? It's worth a look.
