Summary:
This is a review of the Netflix movie The Rip. The author finds it a solid, if not groundbreaking, action heist film. He acknowledges it uses familiar tropes but argues that the strong cast elevates it. He compares it favorably to Extraction and notes that modern streaming films are designed to grab attention quickly and repeatedly explain the plot due to distracted viewers. The review is interspersed with personal anecdotes (the Call of Duty comment) and concludes with extensive promotion of the author’s own social media accounts and science fiction novels.
Key Points:
* Positive Review of The Rip: The author recommends the movie, placing it in the upper echelon of Netflix action films.
* Tropes are Okay: He defends the use of familiar tropes in the film, stating they are effective.
* Streaming Film Design: He highlights an interesting point about how streaming films are structured to cater to short attention spans. The linked interview with Matt Damon supports this.
* Self-Promotion: A meaningful portion of the text is dedicated to promoting the author’s Twitter,YouTube,Bluesky,Instagram,and science fiction books ( Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy).
Overall Purpose:
The primary purpose is to review The Rip and offer an opinion on its quality. However, it’s also a clear example of content marketing and self-promotion for the author. The review serves as a vehicle to drive traffic to his social media profiles and book sales.
