Great advertising for their film

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, according to a defamation lawsuit.

From m-w.com (emphasis mine):

the act of communicating false statements about a person that injure the reputation of that person

speaks to the state of things in general when the answer is to sue instead of looking within

So now everyone is going to want to watch the movie. Can't beat that advertisement.
