Netflix has released the trailer for The Rip, positioning it as one of its biggest crime thrillers of early 2026. The film is set for a global release on January 16, 2026, and signals a dark, intense turn in Netflix’s thriller slate.
Starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the film reunites the longtime collaborators in a story driven by greed, loyalty, and moral breakdown. The narrative centres on how power and money begin to corrode trust within a tightly bound police unit.
The trailer opens with a Miami police team raiding a rundown stash house and uncovering millions in cartel cash. What starts as a major career moment soon spirals. Damon plays Lieutenant Dane Dumars, newly promoted and increasingly isolated.
Ben Affleck appears as Detective Sergeant JD Byrne, a trusted partner whose faith in the team begins to crack. The footage focuses on close confrontations, gunfights, and sharp exchanges, suggesting a slow and unsettling descent rather than a loud action film.
Directed by Joe Carnahan, known for Narc and Smokin’ Aces, the film leans into a gritty and pressure filled tone. The supporting cast includes Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Kyle Chandler, and Catalina Sandino Moreno.
Produced under Damon and Affleck’s Artists Equity banner, The Rip builds on their long creative history. From Good Will Hunting to The Last Duel and Air, their chemistry remains central, with this film placing them on opposing emotional paths.
