Matt Damon’s ‘The Rip’ Nearly Sets A Netflix Rotten Tomatoes Record

At this point, we know that Netflix original movies are something of a gamble, but there’s a new one out today that may lure you away from watching 28 Days Later: The Bone Temple in theaters. That would be The Rip, a new action thriller starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, rounded out by a great cast.

The Rip is a who’s who of currently popular actors, in addition to industry staples like Affleck and Damon (Damon, this year, about to lead Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey). There’s Teyana Taylor, nabbing all sorts of awards for her supporting role in One Battle After Another. There’s Oscar nominee, Emmy winner and Walking Dead veteran Steven Yeun. There’s current Green Lantern Kyle Chandler and previous Supergirl Sasha Calle.

To top it all off, the movie is directed by action icon Joe Carnahan, responsible for classics like The Grey, Smokin’ Aces, Narc and more. But with this cast and Netflix’s reach, this may be his highest profile movie…ever? Here’s the synopsis:

So, the question I posed in the headline. Is it worth watching? We have seen many Netflix action movies fall on their face, but The Rip seems to be great. With dozens of reviews in, it currently has a very solid 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, albeit with no audience score in yet.

We can compare The Rip to other Netflix original action movies, and it has nearly set a Rotten Tomatoes record in the action genre.

  • Rebel Ridge – 95%
  • The Rip – 84%
  • The Old Guard – 80%
  • Extraction 2 – 80%
  • Triple Frontier – 71%
  • Army of Thieves – 69%
  • Army of the Dead – 68%
  • Badlands Hunters – 67%
  • Extraction – 67%
  • Havoc – 67%
  • The Grey Man – 46%
  • The Mother – 43%
  • Outside the Wire – 37%
  • Red Notice – 37%
  • Back in Action – 31%
  • The Old Guard 2 – 27%
  • Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire – 22%
  • Polar – 22%
  • Rebel Moon: The Scargiver – 16%

There may be more I’m missing, but I think I’ve gotten every high profile Netflix original action movie here, and I cannot find anything higher than the current score of The Rip, short of Rebel Ridge, which yes, I would absolutely say deserves the number one spot. I think the Extraction movies should be higher, personally. But no, Netflix does not have the best track record in this genre.

Finally, here’s one critic’s take on The Rip (I’ll post mine tomorrow):

  • The Hollywood Reporter: “While his new film doesn’t reshape the mold, an ace cast led by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and twisty plotting that bristles with paranoia and mistrust make it an entertaining watch.”

I’m off to watch it after work today, and I’ll report back with my own thoughts soon.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
