Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Crime Drama Dominates Netflix Charts

A new crime thriller has taken Netflix by storm, catapulting straight to the platform's number one position globally. The film brings together Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in what critics are calling one of the streaming service's strongest action offerings this year.

Within just three days of its debut, the movie has dominated Netflix's weekly rankings worldwide. Director Joe Carnahan helmed the project, working alongside co-writer Michael McGrale to craft this Miami-set crime story. The cast extends beyond the famous duo to include Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Sasha Cale, Kyle Chandler, Scott Adkins, and Nestor Carbonell.

Plot Centers on Corrupt Cops and Stolen Cash

The story follows two Miami police officers who stumble upon a massive cache of criminal money alongside their fellow cops. When they decide to pocket the cash for themselves, loyalties fracture and trust becomes a luxury they can't afford.

According to the official description: "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 size of the seizure, everything is called into question — including who they can rely on."

Critics and Audiences Praise the Performances

The film earned an 84% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, while audiences gave it a solid 70% score. Viewers consistently highlighted the natural chemistry between Affleck and Damon as a major strength.

One fan wrote: "This was a thrilling film. As a guy who doesn't like true crime stuff, I really enjoyed this film. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's performances were Oscar-worthy. I definitely recommend this movie to people who love true crime."

Another viewer was even more enthusiastic: "I really enjoyed The Rip. It's tense, gritty, and keeps you engaged the whole time without feeling over-the-top. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are both great, and their chemistry makes the story even more intense. The pacing is tight, the atmosphere is dark, and the tension builds naturally. It's the kind of thriller that feels realistic and hits harder because the characters actually matter. Definitely worth watching."

Sequel Speculation Grows

With the film's explosive success, fans are already asking about a potential follow-up. Netflix hasn't announced any sequel plans yet. Some viewers argue the story wrapped up perfectly and doesn't need continuation, while others would welcome more screen time for the iconic duo.

If Netflix decides to greenlight a sequel, an announcement could come soon given the current momentum.
