What has the creator said about The Rip?

Speaking about the inspiration behind the project, writer and director Joe Carnahan told Netflix’s Tudum: “The Rip came out of a deeply personal experience that my friend went through, both as a father and as head of tactical narcotics for the Miami Dade police department.

“It’s inspired in part by his life and then, by my enduring love for those classic ’70’s cop thrillers that really valued the character and interpersonal relationships.”

On working with Matt and Ben, Joe added: “Having two distinctly talented filmmakers as both creative allies and the studio heads wound up being the best of both worlds.

“I’ve never had as easy an experience on a movie as I had on The Rip. They took exceptionally good care of me and backed my decisions every step of the way.”
