Matt Damon & Ben Affleck: The Real Story Behind ‘The Rip

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have⁤ teamed up onc again with their new Netflix film “The rip,” and yes, it’s actually based on true events.⁤ But how closely does it stick to those events?

Written and directed by Joe ⁤Carnahan, “The Rip” brings viewers into ⁢the work of a team of Miami cops. One day, they discover literal millions of dollars in a stash house, putting them on a clock – the rule in the field is that they must count the money on the scene, but they also know whoever owns⁢ the stash house will be coming back ⁣soon – and on their ⁢heels about who they can trust.

We won’t spoil anything here, but we will tell you the actual story that the movie is based on.

Did this actually happen to a group of Miami cops?

It sure did. Carnahan is actually close friends with the cop who ran the team when it happened.

Chris Casiano supervised a tactical‍ narcotics squad⁤ in Miami and one day, they found $24 million in the walls of⁢ someone’s house. During the actual ‍rip ⁣- yes,it’s ⁤legitimately called a rip,as according to Carnahan,it “is literally what it sounds like. We’re gonna rip‍ your stuff, we’re gonna take your stash” – Casiano immediately noticed cameras in the house, and got the feeling ⁢his team was being watched.

That became the starting point for the film version. The movie then speeds off into very different ‍directions, but still kept ⁢some details true. Among them was the cash-sniffing dog.

“In the movie and in⁤ real life, when the dog was‍ outside,‍ it was just going nuts,”
Carnahan told Netflix. The dog could legitimately smell how much money was in the house from outside (not the specific amount,just the insane volume) and that’s what tipped off the team⁢ to the fact that it was a lot more than they thought.
