SINOPSIS The RIP 2026 Review
The Rip is a 2026 American action thriller film written and directed by Joe Carnahan who developed the story with Michael McGrale. The film stars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as police officers within the narcotics unit of the Miami-Dade Police Department. It also stars Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler.
The film is inspired by the true story of Miami-Dade County Sheriff Chris Casiano.[4] This film tells the story of a group of police officers who, during a raid on a hidden cash operation, find their trust broken down as team members suspect each other of trying to steal a large sum of cash.
When Captain Jackie Velez of the Miami-Dade Police Department is murdered, suspicion falls on her specialized unit, the Tactical Narcotics Team (TNT), amid rumors of crooked cops robbing drug houses. Her second-in-command, Lieutenant Dane Dumars, receives a tip about an address in Hialeah and leads his fellow detectives, JD Byrne, Mike Ro, Numa Baptiste, and Lolo Salazar, to search the house for illicit money. When asked how much money, Dumars tells each team member a different number.
Desi Molina, the late homeowner's granddaughter, reluctantly lets the team inside. There they discover $20 million in drug cartel cash, hidden in the attic. Dumars realizes the high risk associated with seizing such a large sum of money, thus disobeys standard protocol. Refusing to notify higher command, he also confiscates the team's phones, although Ro secretly uses a burner phone.
After an uneasy encounter with local officers, the team arm themselves as they count the money on site, per standard procedure. Desi explains that she was instructed to offer a share of the money if the stash was discovered. Dumars becomes suspicious after learning she was once a police informant.
As mysterious calls to the house threaten the team to leave, Byrne confronts Dumars for lying about the original tip, which he refuses to show him. Fearing the lieutenant is preparing to steal the money, Byrne calls DEA Agent Matty Nix, who suggests Dumars may have been involved with Velez's death. Realizing the empty neighborhood is under the cartel's control, Byrne investigates a nearby house alone, and Desi warns Ro that she heard Dumars convince Baptiste and Salazar to help rob the stash.
The power is cut as the house takes heavy gunfire. Salazar is wounded while Dumars and Ro chase off the gunmen. Byrne appears with a cartel lookout from the neighboring house, who calls his boss. He explains they did not attack the detectives and the cartel is willing to abandon their money, but warns that Velez may have been killed by a member of her own team. Byrne turns on Dumars, Ro loses his phone in the scuffle, and the house catches fire as Nix arrives. Leaving Baptiste and Salazar with Desi, the other detectives accompany Nix and the money bags in the back of an armored vehicle.
Dumars reveals that Velez sent him the tip before she was killed, planning to use the house as bait for the crooked heist crew. To force them into action, he led everyone to believe he was stealing the money himself. When the mysterious callers mention the money amount Dumars told Ro, he deduced Ro was in league with the crew, which includes Nix and the Hialeah officers; Nix and his men made the threatening calls and shot at the house, while Ro set the fire. Dumars later shared his plan with Byrne, who stole Ro's burner in the scuffle, which Ro uses to confirm Nix's involvement.
Nix opens fire, and his driver is killed in the ensuing fight while Ro and Dumars are wounded. Nix admits that he and Ro ambushed Velez, but Byrne has already alerted his FBI agent brother Del, so the crew is cornered by the authorities. Ro is chased down and arrested by Dumars, while Nix leads Byrne on a car chase but is shot dead on purpose. Having swapped the stolen money with phone books hoarded by Desi's grandmother, the team turns in the real cash. And a grateful Desi receives twenty percent of the seizure for her cooperation. On the beach, Dumars and Byrne watch the sun rise in Velez's memor
