In its second week of release, Joe Carnahan’s The Rip once again reigns supreme at the top of Netflix’s English film list. The action thriller has garnered 40.4 million views and 76.1 million hours viewed. The film gave the streaming service its biggest opening since the release of Happy Gilmore 2 last summer, but it may not be enough for The Rip to crack the Top 10 Most Popular Movies on Netflix of All Time.
What is The Rip?
“In this dirty-cop thriller, suspicion falls on everyone as Lieutenant Dane Dumars (Damon) and Detective Sergeant J.D. Byrne (Affleck) lead a Tactical Narcotics Team following up on a tip about a cartel stash house,” reads the official description. “The rip — a term for when cops seize criminal assets — is $20 million, and every dollar must be counted before they can leave the house, allowing time for mistrust to grow within the team.“
Even without Damon and Affleck, the film boasts quite a cast, including Steven Yeun (Invincible), Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another), Sasha Calle (The Flash), Catalina Sandino Moreno (From), Scott Adkins (John Wick: Chapter 4), Kyle Chandler (Lanterns), and Néstor Carbonell (Lost).
We Loved The Rip
Our own Chris Bumbray has been a fan of Joe Carnahan since Narc (which is nearly 25 years old), and he had a great time with The Rip. “While largely a thriller, The Rip also features some killer action, including a huge car chase and gunfight for Affleck, while Damon gets a terrific hand-to-hand fight at one point, proving he’s still got those Bourne moves down pat,” he wrote. “All in all, it adds up to an absolutely killer action flick that I had a blast with. It’s a shame Netflix hasn’t given this one a theatrical release, as it would kill on a big screen, but even so, it should be a huge hit for the streamer, featuring Matt and Ben at their best.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.

I haven’t had the chance to check out the film for myself, but for those of you who have, what did you think? Does it deserve its #1 spot?
