Netflix Unveils Teaser for Joe Carnahan’s The Rip

Netflix has dropped the first look teaser trailer for The Rip, an upcoming high-octane action thriller from director Joe Carnahan. Packed with gritty visuals and pulse-pounding energy, the teaser sets the tone for what promises to be a tense ride filled with betrayal, greed, and shifting loyalties.

The film stars longtime collaborators and real-life friends Ben Affleck and Matt Damon leading a powerhouse ensemble that includes Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler. Their inclusion hints at a bold mix of acting talent, blending Hollywood veterans with dynamic rising stars.

The Rip follows a group of Miami cops who stumble upon millions of dollars hidden inside a rundown stash house. What begins as a career-defining bust quickly spirals into a dangerous game of distrust as both external forces and internal suspicions threaten to tear the team apart. Loyalties fracture, and the line between cops and criminals blurs, putting everyone at risk.

Joe Carnahan, best known for helming adrenaline-charged films like The Grey and Smokin’ Aces, not only directs but also pens the screenplay, crafted from a story he developed alongside Michael McGrale. Their collaboration hints at a tightly woven narrative combining sharp dialogue with raw, fast-paced conflict.

Netflix has slated The Rip for a January 16, 2026 release, making it one of the streaming giant’s flagship action thrillers for the new year. With Affleck and Damon headlining, Carnahan’s trademark explosive style, and a suspenseful premise, the film is already generating strong anticipation among fans of high-stakes crime dramas.
