Overview
- The Rip premiered on Netflix on January 16, reuniting Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as Miami police officers who uncover $20 million during a raid.
- Using the new release as a peg, Tom’s Guide ranks their five standout projects, led by Good Will Hunting with The Last Duel, Air, Dogma and School Ties rounding out the list.
- Air marked Ben Affleck’s return to directing with a dramatization of Nike’s pursuit of Michael Jordan, featuring Matt Damon as scout Sonny Vacaro and Affleck as CEO Phil Knight.
- The Last Duel was co-written by Damon and Affleck with Nicole Holofcener and directed by Ridley Scott, and the article notes it underperformed at the box office.
- In Dogma the pair play fallen angels in Kevin Smith’s religious satire, while their early on-screen pairing in School Ties cast Damon as an antagonist and Affleck in a smaller role.
