The Instigators: A Well-Oiled Heist Comedy With Matt Damon and Casey Affleck
A Second Film Collaboration This Year
With The Instigators, his second film released this year, director Doug Liman brings together Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.
Affleck co-wrote the script for the film, which follows Rory (Damon) and Cobby (Affleck), two reluctant partners in a heist that is clearly doomed to fail. Despite the obvious flaws in their plan, Rory and Cobby have a great comedic chemistry that carries the film.
One of the highlights of The Instigators is a joke about the public school curriculum in Quincy, the suburb just south of Boston where the film is set. The joke is a clever and unexpected way to poke fun at the often-ridiculous nature of public education.
Overall, The Instigators is a well-oiled heist comedy with humor and action in equal measure. Damon and Affleck are both excellent in their roles, and Liman's direction is sharp and efficient. If you're looking for a fun and entertaining film, The Instigators is definitely worth checking out.
