The trailer for The Rip, a new crime thriller set in Miami and starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, long-time collaborators and Hollywood best friends, is now available on Netflix. The official release date is set for January 16, 2026.

The official logline for the movie reads:

“A group of Miami police officers’ trust starts to erode after they find millions of dollars in a deserted stash house. When external entities discover the magnitude of the seizure, everything is questioned, including who they can rely on.”

Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Sasha Calle, Néstor Carbonell, Lina Esco, Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler star in The Rip alongside Damon and Affleck, while Joe Carnahan serves as both the director and writer.

Themes You Should Expect to See

From the trailer, the central conflict is the struggle between greed and duty. The money tests the officers’ loyalty, forcing them to choose between their badge and their personal desires.

Their trust in each other begins to fracture, as temptation grows too strong to ignore. In one striking moment from the trailer, Damon asks about the seized cash: “Do you think I’m gonna jack this rip?” To which Affleck replies: “I don’t trust you right now, and that’s a fucking problem.”

The consequences of their choices also come into play. Whatever side they choose, integrity or personal gain, will cost them something while offering something in return. The ultimate decision lies entirely in their hands, making the moral stakes as high as the physical danger.

Scene Excerpt “The Rip”

The trailer also suggests that this story won’t just be about the officers versus outside forces, but also about the psychological warfare within their own ranks. Suspicion becomes as deadly as any bullet when greed begins to seep into partnerships and friendships, which is very relatable in today’s society. The busy street of Miami also adds another layer of intensity to the plot, with the humid atmosphere amplifying the heat of the scenes.

Any  fan of crime thrillers will easily recognize these familiar elements, betrayal, temptation, and the constant push-pull between justice and corruption, the pairing of Damon and Affleck promises to elevate these themes with their natural chemistry. Their history as both collaborators and real-life best friends makes their on-screen conflict feel even more personal and believable.

The supporting cast, including Steven Yeun and Teyana Taylor, also brings fresh energy to the film, The Rip won’t  just be a two-man move but a multi-layered story about how one dangerous discovery can unravel an entire team.

If you are someone who enjoys crime movies that send your heart racing like a roller coaster, then watch out for “The Rip”.

Don’t miss: 5 mini Best Series on Netflix you can binge on right now

Release date: October 10, 2025

Jennifer Lopez is taking on one of her most daring roles yet in “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” The film, based on the Broadway musical and the original novel by Manuel Puig, is set in an Argentine prison during the 1980s. Online, the new trailer is capturing plenty of eyes.

A Story of Escape and Imagination

The movie follows two prisoners: Luis Molina, jailed for being gay, and Valentin, a political prisoner. Inside the prison, every day drags on. To survive, Molina tells stories from an old movie he loves — and that’s where Lopez appears as the Spider Woman. In the film, she is a vision, and impossible to reach. For Molina and Valentin, she is both fantasy and nightmare, a flicker of hope in a confined world.

“It’s about love, acceptance, and finding beauty in the darkness,” Lopez said in a recent interview. “I think those themes are so relevant right now.” Playing this role was not easy. Lopez had to make the Spider Woman feel real enough to haunt, but distant enough to remain a dream. Her presence influences the prisoners, helping Molina become braver and Valentin soften. The Spider Woman’s power is in how she changes the story for those around her.

Cinematography That Tells the Story

The prison scenes are dark and heavy, full of shadows. But when Lopez appears, the screen lights up with color. The camera follows her, showing her as a clear figure against the bleak prison backdrop

Musical and Theatrical Power

Lopez also sings in the film, showing the theatrical skills that made her a star. Composer John Kander, who worked with her in the studio, told Lopez he had never heard the song sung better, and she called the moment one of the highlights of her career.

Conclusion

While Jennifer Lopez has been acting since 1997 and has delivered memorable performances in films like Selena and Hustlers (2019), Kiss of the Spider Woman marks her first major role in a musical movie, bringing a new dimension to her already versatile career
