Sasha Calle & Catalina Sandino Moreno on Trust, Temptation, and Ensemble Tension of The Rip

In a pair of conversations tied together by one very uneasy stash house, Kyle Meredith talks with Catalina Sandino Moreno and Sasha Calle about Netflix’s The Rip, a crime thriller that’s less about shootouts than the slow psychological squeeze of not knowing who to trust. Moreno reflects on returning to morally complex material after Maria Full of Grace, what it’s like sharing scenes with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and why this run of action-heavy roles marks a surprisingly fun new chapter in her career. Calle digs into playing Desi, the film’s human wildcard, balancing stillness with intensity, delivering a pivotal monologue, and how her soap-opera background prepared her for pressure-cooker moments. Along the way, both talk about Joe Carnahan’s high-energy set, the film’s ensemble chemistry, and why The Rip works best when it slows down and lets the paranoia breathe.
