Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Sued Over Realistic Details in 'The Rip'
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)

MIAMI — Two police officers from South Florida argue that the recent action and suspense film by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, 'The Rip', used too many real-life details in its fictional narrative, harming the personal and professional reputations of the officers, according to a defamation lawsuit. Jason Smith and Jonathan Santana, sergeants with the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office, filed the lawsuit earlier this month in a federal court in Miami against Artists Equity, a film production company owned by Affleck and Damon. The court documents do not specify the amount the officers are seeking, but the civil suit states they are requesting compensatory damages, punitive damages, payment of their attorney's fees, as well as a public retraction and correction.
