Critics Consensus

Joe Carnahan's Miami narcotics thriller splits 70% critics and 75% audiences on Netflix — Matt Damon and Ben Affleck anchor a stash-house standoff that IMDb's midyear list placed among January's most-discussed streaming drops, trading spectacle for overnight trust that frays on the clock.

What is The Rip about?

A Miami-Dade narcotics unit led by veteran detectives raids a stash house and discovers roughly twenty-four million dollars in cash — far more than any bust on record. Ordered to hold the money overnight until federal agents arrive, the team locks down in a motel with the fortune in the next room. As hours pass without backup, paranoia replaces protocol: who called whom, who moved a bag, and who might walk out alone. Joe Carnahan films the standoff as a pressure-cooker crime drama where every alliance is provisional.
