Two South Florida police officers claim Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s recent action thriller “The Rip” used too many real-life details in its fictionalized narrative, causing harm to the officers’ personal and professional reputations.
It’s in the article. Aflack and Damon are not just the actors. They co-own and run the studio producing the film. They hired a person from the police department in question to consult on the film.
And, to be clear, this isn’t the police department being mad because this paints them in a bad light. The film starts with events based off a real case, but moves into a fictionalized narrative where two cops murder a supervisor while working for the cartels. The cops the characters are based on are suing because people know that the characters are based on them and don’t realize the rest of the narrative is fictionalized.
How do you make a cop from Florida look worse than cop from Florida I don’t get it its like a Nazi who jacked off while inhaling crematorium fumes also fucking corpses before they’re burned how does that make him look any worse than he did
Look, I get ACAB, but these guys don’t seem to have been accused of doing anything in particular.
It’s wild to make a movie clearly identifying real life people who haven’t been tied to any wrongdoing, and then present them as committing a ton of felonies to include arson and multiple homicides (of fellow cops no less).
Like, these are real people trying to quietly live their lives, and now they have people thinking they’re extremely crooked based on a self-admittedly fictional narrative. It’s irresponsible at best.
Why would officers be suing the actors instead of the showrunner and script writers?
That’s like suing Adobe because someone’s hand-drawn artwork looks too much like one of yours.

Cops not people. Different things. Morality does not apply exce0t preventing harm to people.
Tbf I would take any opportunity to sue Adobe, logic be damned.
