GRIEF POWERS ONE NIGHT OF HELL

FRIENDS REUNITED Affleck and Damon star again

- With DAMON SMITH

Taking its snappy title from police officer slang for the confiscation of cash, drugs or weapons from criminals, The Rip is an exhilarating crime thriller written and directed by Joe Carnahan, which reunites childhood best friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

The pair trade physical blows and toss verbal grenades with relish as world-weary members of a Miami Tactical Narcotics Team (TNT), who harbour deep-rooted suspicion about each other's devotion to the law.
