    Buckle Up and Watch The Rip Trailer 

    Ben Affleck and Matt Damon star in a new cop thriller from director Joe Carnahan.

    Jan. 14, 2026

“From the outside looking in, it seems simple,” Lieutenant Dane Dumars (Matt Damon) narrates in a new trailer for The Rip. “Seize the cash, count it, and turn it in. On the inside, it’s different.” 

Especially when that cash adds up to more than 20 million dollars. For the Miami-Dade Tactical Narcotics Team, this discovery (or “rip,” as in the title) is a huge responsibility. For Dumars and his partner, Detective Sergeant J.D. Byrne (Ben Affleck), it’s also a huge problem. “In Miami, you have to count the money on-site, so that everybody knows how much is there,” Damon tells Netflix.

    Two men struggle violently in an office, one pinning the other against a desk, while others watch in shock. The setting is a cluttered workspace with glass walls and scattered files, lit by daylight through window blinds.

And with the team on their own in hostile territory, surrounded by cash, the boundary between cops and robbers starts to look awfully fragile. “It begs the question: what do you do when faced with this massive temptation?” Affleck tells Netflix. “What does that mean? What’s it like to see that up close? And then also, who do you trust?”

From the trailer it’s clear that trust is already fraying. Dumars and Byrne are dealing with complications within their own relationship. “Dumars has just been promoted,” Affleck says. “We’ve been peers for our [whole] careers, and now he’s been made the boss of the group.” 

It’s a situation ripe for resentment, only magnified by the tension of the rip. “You wanna steal this rip, just say it out loud!” Byrne yells in the trailer as the old friends come to blows. “I don’t trust you right now, and that’s a problem.”

Meanwhile, the world outside the house is just as dangerous as the one within its walls: threatening phone calls, porch lights in the neighborhood that flash Morse code. “[They] can’t leave, which makes them targets for a bunch of bad guys,” writer-director Joe Carnahan tells Netflix. “And now they have to count the money, not knowing necessarily who to trust, including one another.” 

“They know that it’s almost certainly cartel money that belongs to very dangerous people who are probably going to come get it,” Damon says. “They’re on the clock, and they have to start thinking of defending where they are because they can’t just leave.” Cue gunfights, car chases, and rooftop shootouts. This is The Rip. You won’t want to miss it.

While you can watch the trailer now, you’ll have to wait till Jan. 16 for The Rip to hit Netflix.
