A recent podcast conversation between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck has shed light on Netflix's innovative approach to action movies. The actor duo discussed their experiences working on the streaming service's film, The Rip, and how Netflix is challenging traditional action movie formulas. According to Matt Damon, Netflix is pushing for action-packed scenes to be placed early in films to keep viewers engaged. This shift is largely due to the way people consume content at home, often while multitasking. In contrast to the traditional approach of saving the most expensive action sequences for the finale, Netflix now wants to see these scenes within the first 5-10 minutes of a movie. Ben Affleck, however, countered this notion by highlighting Netflix's own hit, Adolescence, which defied this formula and still achieved success. The film's use of long, intense shots and minimal dialogue resonated with audiences, proving that there's more than one way to create engaging content. The Rip, written and directed by Joe Carnahan, follows two Miami cops as they uncover hidden money. The film, which features a star-studded cast, is now available on Netflix, offering a glimpse into the streamer's unconventional approach to action movies.
