In an intense new trailer for “The Rip,” Lieutenant Dane Dumars, portrayed by Matt Damon, reflects on the complexities of handling a massive cash seizure, narrating, “From the outside looking in, it seems simple. Seize the cash, count it, and turn it in. On the inside, it’s different.”
For those interested in experiencing the world premiere of “The Rip,” scheduled for January 13 in New York City, individuals aged 18 and older can enter for a chance to attend the screening or enjoy the red carpet experience at 7 PM. Detailed information on how to request tickets can be found online, providing an exciting opportunity for fans to engage with the film and its cast.
Central to the plot is a staggering sum of over 20 million dollars that the Miami-Dade Tactical Narcotics Team must handle. This discovery brings significant responsibility for Dumars and his partner, Detective Sergeant J.D. Byrne, played by Ben Affleck. As highlighted in the trailer, counting the money on-site is crucial in Miami, which brings added pressure to the duo. Dumars comments on the scenario, “In Miami, you have to count the money on-site, so that everybody knows how much is there.”
The situation becomes increasingly precarious as the line between law enforcement and criminal temptation blurs. Affleck describes their dilemma, emphasizing the ethical challenges: “What do you do when faced with this massive temptation? What does that mean? What’s it like to see that up close? And then also, who do you trust?”
Tensions escalate, particularly between Dumars and Byrne, as frayed relationships lead to conflict. “Dumars has just been promoted,” Affleck explains, highlighting the strain of their new dynamic. As their partnership becomes strained, explosive confrontations echo throughout the trailer, punctuated by Byrnes’ demand for honesty: “You wanna steal this rip, just say it out loud! I don’t trust you right now, and that’s a problem.”
The external threats compound their struggles, with ominous phone calls and flashing porch lights in Morse code, as noted by writer-director Joe Carnahan. The team, isolated in a dangerous situation, faces not just the challenge of counting the money, but the added trepidation of who among them can truly be trusted.
Damon notes the high stakes involved, revealing the cash likely belongs to cartel members, intensifying the urgency of their situation: “They know that it’s almost certainly cartel money that belongs to very dangerous people who are probably going to come get it.” The pressure mounts, leading to dramatic sequences filled with gunfights, car chases, and rooftop shootouts.
Viewers can delve into the heart-pounding action with the trailer available now, but they will have to wait until January 16 for “The Rip” to officially premiere on Netflix. This film promises to be a gripping exploration of loyalty, temptation, and survival under extreme pressure, making it a must-watch for fans of thrilling narratives.
