The Rip is an upcoming crime thriller directed by Joe Carnahan, set to premiere on Netflix on January 16, 2026. The film stars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as Miami police partners whose routine operation spirals into chaos after their team uncovers $24 million hidden inside a derelict stash house.Legally required to count the seized money on-site, the officers find themselves trapped in an increasingly volatile situation. As the night unfolds, trust within the team begins to erode, and the discovery of the massive cash haul attracts dangerous outside attention. Moral lines blur as greed, suspicion, and survival instincts collide.Inspired by a real-life experience involving a Miami-Dade tactical narcotics officer, The Rip channels the spirit of classic 1970s cop thrillers such as Serpico and Prince of the City, while embracing the character-driven tension of Michael Mann’s Heat. The film places a strong focus on psychological pressure, group dynamics, and the consequences of fractured loyalty.The ensemble cast features Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Kyle Chandler, and Scott Adkins, who joins the film in a supporting role. Known for his physical screen presence and action credentials, Adkins adds further intensity to the film’s law-enforcement ensemble. Commenting on his involvement, Adkins stated: “A great pleasure to be part of this amazing cast of actors and director Joe Carnahan firing on all cylinders.”With its emphasis on tension, character conflict, and moral ambiguity, The Rip is positioned as a standout crime thriller in Netflix’s early 2026 slate. The film will be available exclusively on Netflix from January 16, 2026.
