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.
