Audience write-ups from TMDB
Dr Nostromo
The film scores 82 out of 100. When a drug task force receives information about hidden money, they discover more than $20 million, which then puts them in danger. It was enjoyable watching Matt Damon and Ben Affleck share the screen, as their performances were captivating throughout, supported by a strong ensemble. The narrative maintains an element of mystery, even portraying the police officers as somewhat clumsy …

I'd give this a 9/10. The plot has a surprising element that’s hard to guess, particularly in the initial portion. It feels like a gritty police procedural with solid acting and a consistently tense feel. However, I understand critics have pointed out that it falls into familiar genre patterns later on.

Joe Carnahan delivers a genuinely good action-thriller, and it’s really enjoyable to watch Affleck and Damon together on screen. Among the movies I've seen on Netflix—and that isn't many so far—this one stands out as the strongest, thankfully avoiding the clunky dialogue you sometimes find with streaming content. There was a single plot development I anticipated, which stemmed from having previously seen this actor p…

I’ll only give this film a zero if Scott Adkins fails to deliver some serious punishment to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. I’ll have to wait and see what happens before I can really pass judgment, though.

A needlessly complicated mystery. It’s remarkable how many plot threads Matt Damon manages to juggle, and Ben simply behaves as expected—which is a good choice, given everyone's inherent goodness. Nicely executed, though it might have benefited from being trimmed down.

"The RIP" evokes earlier police crime thrillers from the eighties and nineties, though it ends up feeling more like a copy than something truly original. It’s probably fair to say that one of the biggest issues with this kind of movie is that it's become its own tired collection of tropes: hard-drinking, foul-mouthed, rough-looking cops who drive fast cars and are sharper than they initially seem. "The RIP" r…

The Rip turned out to be an unexpected pleasure, choosing psychological suspense over flashy action sequences. The film benefits significantly from the chemistry between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, as well as Joe Carnahan's assured handling which emphasizes a sense of being trapped. While the supporting characters aren’t explored in great depth, the movie distinguishes itself through its sincere approach to its subje…
