Our take
The Rip traps Miami cops who find millions in a stash house and turn on each other. Rated R for pervasive language and violence, Joe Carnahan's thriller delivers shootings, murder talk, cigarette smoke, casual weed mentions, and near-constant profanity. A funeral flag-folding scene and affair innuendo add emotional weight. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon anchor a paranoid crime story with car chases and closed-room tension. Best for mature teens 16+ who can handle gritty cop violence

One line praises doing the right thing, but greed dominates
