So I watched The Rip. A Miami cop movie with Affleck and Damon.

I liked the first half quite a bit. Really intense opening scene, good mystery setup, high emotional stakes, etc. Always happy to see Affleck and Damon together.

The second half lost me a bit. Some aspects seemed unrealistic enough to distract me and pull me out of it. And I felt the heavy hand of the writers/director in terms of character choices not really making sense, convenient scene changes, etc.

But, all together a solid cop movie. Glad I watched it.

So far out of this recent run of movies, Sinners is comfortably my top choice even though I had some issues in the third act.

I enjoyed the second half! Mainly because during the first half I was a bit annoyed that the plot might end up as (imho) a shallow ‘Ben and Matt are on opposites sides of morality! And now must fight to the death!’

Curious what you thought was the biggest unrealistic aspect?
