Really solid breakdown of where The Rip sits in Carnahan's filmography. Your point about the excessive f-bombs is interesting - I get that cop dialogue would be gritty, but sometimes it feels like lazy writting when there's no variety in the profanity, you know? I watched Narc for the first time last year and was blown away by how tight the tension was, so I'm kinda curiuos if The Rip has that same stripped-down intensity.

I really appreciate you reading and your thoughtful comments. The Rip is good and tense, but not nearly as good or as tense as Narc.
