Netflix has released a trailer for The Rip, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck — the film, arrives later this month
The Rip arrives on Netflix on January 16 asking a simple question — who can you really trust?
What is The Rip about and who else stars
From the latest press release, we learn:
“From the outside looking in, it seems simple,” Lieutenant Dane Dumars (Matt Damon) narrates in the new trailer “Seize the cash, count it, and turn it in. On the inside, it’s different.”
Especially when that cash adds up to more than 20 million dollars. For the Miami-Dade Tactical Narcotics Team, this discovery (or “rip,” as in the title) is a huge responsibility. For Dumars and his partner, Detective Sergeant J.D. Byrne (Ben Affleck), it’s also a huge problem. “In Miami, you have to count the money on-site, so that everybody knows how much is there,” Damon tells Netflix.
The article goes on to build the inherent tension, and writer/ director Joe Carnahan adds:
“[They] can’t leave, which makes them targets for a bunch of bad guys. And now they have to count the money, not knowing necessarily who to trust, including one another.”
Meanwhile, the world outside the house is just as dangerous as the one within its walls: threatening phone calls, porch lights in the neighborhood that flash Morse code.
The cast includes Damon, Affleck, Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins, Kyle Chandler, Néstor Carbonell, and Lina Esco. Enjoy the trailer:
