Netflix’s new cop thriller The Rip is receiving critical praise in large part for its use of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in the leading roles. While I heartily believe movies like this belong on the big screen instead of going straight to streaming, The Rip is a good, well-written movie and both Affleck and Damon are solid in it — an easy win for Netflix.That said, the based-on-a-true story film about two crooked Miami narcotics officers makes me long for a very different kind of movie with the duo. One that, while quite literally being about the end of the world, is also just a really good, funny, lighthearted hang which captures the chemistry of the two friends as effectively as any other film they’ve done together.
