Netflix's New Matt Damon, Ben Affleck Movie Is Uninspired Dad Cinema

The Rip (streaming on Netflix) is a dull, soggy, handsomely crafted cop caper. It features two bored-looking turns from stars and producers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon; and three of the most obvious twists you’ll likely see this year. That it’s competently mounted by Guy Ritchie also-ran Joe Carnahan, a devotee if not master of muscular dad cinema, is an afterthought. The movie is so turgid and wastes so many talented actors on a screenplay which favors profanity over wit that it all but wears out its welcome before the opening title card.
