If you’re a fan of classic crime thrillers, get ready for some serious action. Netflix has just dropped the teaser for its new film “The Rip,” promising to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. And yes, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are back on screen together for the first time since their 2023 joint project Air.
Director Joe Carnahan (The Grey) brings us back to the spirit of ’70s cop thrillers: tough moral dilemmas, high-octane shootouts, and the tense atmosphere of Miami’s streets. At the heart of the story is a team of police officers whose loyalty is put to the test when they discover millions of dollars in an abandoned warehouse.
But the money is only the beginning. When word of the find reaches outside forces, a crisis of trust erupts within the team. Who is a true ally? Who is ready to betray? The teaser already shows that questions of loyalty and morality will drive the story.
Alongside Damon and Affleck, the film stars Steven Yeun (Nope), Teyana Taylor (Coming 2 America), Sasha Calle (The Flash), and Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights). This mix of talent promises not only intense action and pacing but also deep psychological play, where every character could be a friend or a foe.
If you enjoy films like Training Day or Heat, “The Rip” is a gift. Action, tension, unexpected betrayals, and moral challenges—all combine to deliver a thrilling experience that keeps you on edge until the very last minute. The premiere is set for January 16, 2026, on Netflix, so get ready to dive into a world where every dollar is a test and trust is worth more than life itself.
For fans of Damon and Affleck, this isn’t just a movie—it’s the return of the legendary duo’s chemistry to the big screen. For lovers of high-quality crime thrillers, it’s a chance to feel the adrenaline without leaving your home.
