Famous director Quentin Tarantino is known not only for his cult films but also for his candid statements about contemporary cinema. This time, the filmmaker shared which film has managed to impress him strongly over the past few years.
According to Tarantino, among the many new releases he has watched, only one project has truly captured his special attention. This is the crime thriller "The Rip," starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The film tells the story of a group of Miami police officers who become embroiled in a dangerous situation after discovering a large sum of money.
The director noted that it is rare for him to be surprised by new films today, but "The Rip" was an exception. He stated that the creators managed to create a tense atmosphere and offer viewers a story that holds their attention until the very end.
The thriller was directed by Joe Carnahan, known for his work on crime and action projects. In addition to Affleck and Damon, the cast includes Kyle Chandler, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, and others.
Notably, such high praise from Tarantino comes against the backdrop of his rather critical attitude towards contemporary cinema. Therefore, the acclaim for the film has given many viewers an additional reason to pay attention to it.
It is worth recalling that "The Rip" was released on the Netflix platform in early 2026 and became another collaborative project between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who not only starred in the lead roles but also served as its producers.
