"Guess that's the power of the puka-shell necklace? Childhood besties Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are getting money together both on- and offscreen. Boston's prodigal sons will cash in on their decades-long friendship as Miami police officers who seize millions of dollars from a stash house in their latest collaboration, Joe Carnahan's upcoming Netflix thriller The Rip. ("Rip" is cop parlance for the confiscation of weapons or drug-related funds.)"
"Per , Damon felt compelled to team up with his longtime friend again after watching Peter Jackson's documentary Get Back, which closes with a title card informing viewers that the Beatles never worked together again. 'Who cares if we oversaturate the marketplace with movies we're both in?' he recalled telling Affleck. 'We're crazy if we don't take advantage of the fact that we are both still here and able to do this.'"
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck star together in Joe Carnahan's Netflix thriller The Rip as Miami police officers who seize millions from a stash house. The police department includes officers played by Steven Yeun and Teyana Taylor and faces internal trust issues, underscored by a tattoo on Damon's character that asks, "Are we the good guys?" Damon and Affleck have collaborated since appearing as teenage extras in Field of Dreams and later co-writing Good Will Hunting and The Last Duel. Damon felt compelled to reunite after watching Peter Jackson's Get Back, and Affleck called Damon's acting "humbling."
