"The RIP" harks back to earlier 80's and 90's style cop crime thrillers but ultimately, feels more like a fascimile, than an original work, in its own right.
To be fair, perhaps the biggest problem with this genre, in general, is its become its own cliche. Hard drinking, sweary, hairy, violent tough guy, sterotypes, who drive souped up cars and are smarter than first appearances, would suggest.
The RIP leans heavily into this cliche, with predictable outcomes. About half way through, I'd worked out who was doing what and why. Its not because I'm especially clever, its because I've seen this all before in one form or another. Yet, the film includes a reveal that explain's everything, that's supposed, I'm assuming, to come as a revelation to the audience.
Performances from well known faces are alright but hardly add a lot in the way of gravitas, to what is, only a moderately entertaining action, "who dunnit", thriller.
In summary, Hollywood needs new material.You can't expect endless repitition to equal boundless success. In short, an okay watch but does nothing to distinguish itself.

The Rip: A Knives Out Mystery
Convoluted bullshit mystery. How many plates can you spin Mr. Damon? You are incredible and Ben...just does exactly what you know he'll do. Which is the right thing because you are all so just.
Well done officers. Could have been shorter.

If Scott Adkins doesn't kick the snot out of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in this movie, I'm rating it a big fat "0".
TBC whenever I get around to watching it.
