The first trailer for Joe Carnahan‘s action thriller The Rip has dropped and it showcases the writer-director’s trademark cracking dialog and morally-compromised characters alongside a first-rate cast.
The film’s powerhouse ensemble includes Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins and Kyle Chandler.
Here’s the logline: Upon discovering millions in cash in a derelict stash house, trust among a team of Miami cops begins to fray. As outside forces learn about the size of the seizure, everything is called into question — including who they can rely on. According to Carnahan, the term “rip” refers to a seizure of cash or drugs or weapons.
“The Rip came out of a deeply personal experience that my friend went through, both as a father and as head of tactical narcotics for the Miami-Dade police department,” said the director. “It’s inspired in part by his life and then, by my enduring love for those classic ‘70’s cop thrillers that really valued the character and interpersonal relationships and became touchstones of that era — films like Serpico and Prince of The City and more recently, Michael Mann’s Heat.”
The film marks the first collaboration between Netflix and Damon & Affleck’s Artists Equity. It is produced the duo as well as Dani Bernfeld and Luciana Damon. EPs are Kevin Halloran and Michael Joe for Artists Equity
The Rip releases globally on Netflix on January 16, 2026
