Warning, there are spoilers ahead for The Rip, so if you haven’t used your Netflix subscription to check it out, now’s your chance to escape!
I’ll admit that I don’t always love the action movies that Netflix releases, but The Rip, produced by and starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, is a… rip-roarin’ good time. Ugh, I can’t believe I wrote that, but here we are. Anyway, the movie is super fun, with great performances from the leads and all the supporting actors, including Kyle Chandler, Steven Yeun, and recent Golden Globe winner Teyana Taylor, among others.
The movie is full of twists, but there was one that never happened. Out of the $20 million and change that the team found in the house, they didn’t keep any of it? That really surprised me.
Rip is intense, and it did a great job of keeping me guessing the whole time.Right up until the end, I still wasn’t completely sure who the dirty cops were and who wasn’t. Dane and his team are on the up and up-well, all but Yeun’s Mike Ro. They are so honest they don’t steal one dime. I don’t think it would have made them bad guys if they had lifted a little.
