Forget Netflix’s The Rip, Dogma is still peak Ben Affleck and Matt Damon

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.
