The Rip Trailer - Affleck and Damon Together in Netflix Thriller

Netflix will kick off 2026 with a bang: January 16 will mark the debut of The Rip – Don't Trust Anyone, a new film directed by Joe Carnahan that reunites Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on screen, playing a Miami police lieutenant and sergeant, respectively.

The duo finds themselves grappling with a discovery as tempting as it is dangerous: millions of dollars hidden in an abandoned warehouse. At first, it seems like a stroke of luck, but soon the money becomes a fuse ready to explode, as external forces come into play and mutual trust crumbles, transforming loyalty between colleagues into suspicion and betrayal.

The trailer clearly shows the film's tone: brutal action, rising tension, and the feeling that no one is truly safe. Already the director of Narc, The A-Team, and The Grey, Carnahan confirms his realistic and gritty style, ideal for a story of corruption and ambiguous morality. The project, also produced by Affleck and Damon through their Artists Equity, boasts a high-caliber ensemble cast: Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler.

The big question is whether a film with these characteristics – two Hollywood stars, an experienced director, and a big-screen plot – will manage to stand out in Netflix's vast catalog. The fact remains that on paper, The Rip aims to be one of the most discussed titles of the new year.
