Watch Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in the first trailer for Netflix’s cop thriller ‘The Rip’
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck play Miami policemen who find a giant stash of dirty money in the upcoming Netflix movie "The Rip."
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck will reunite on screen yet again this winter in “The Rip,” an upcoming thriller for Netflix.
Netflix released the first trailer for “The Rip” Wednesday morning, showing the Cambridge natives playing a pair of Miami cops who discover a massive stash of dirty money at a stash house.
The official synopsis from Netflix reads: “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.”

Director Joe Carnahan (“Smokin’ Aces”) told Tudum that “The Rip” is inspired by events that his friend went through while leading the Miami PD tactical narcotics team, as well as “classic ‘70’s cop thrillers that really valued the character and interpersonal relationships and became touchstones of that era — films like ‘Serpico’ and ‘Prince of The City’ and more recently, Michael Mann’s ‘Heat.’”
Damon and Affleck produced “The Rip” through their company Artists Equity, joining other recent films including “The Accountant 2,”The Instigators,” and “Air.”
Along with Damon and Affleck, “The Rip” stars Steven Yeun (“Beef”), Teyana Taylor (“Coming 2 America”), Catalina Sandino Moreno (“Maria Full of Grace”), Sasha Calle (“The Flash”), Néstor Carbonell (“Lost”), Lina Esco (“S.W.A.T.”), Scott Adkins (“John Wick: Chapter 4”) and Kyle Chandler (“Friday Night Lights”).
