In Doug Liman’s The Instigators, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck play two likable losers who are on the run from authorities following a heist gone wrong. In this Goggler exclusive, we speak to the both of them about their effortless chemistry, working with Doug Liman, and the movie’s top notch supporting cast. We may have also snuck in an “Ocean’s 14” question too.
The Instigators premieres on Apple TV Plus on Friday, August 9.
Rory and Cobby are reluctant partners: a desperate father and an ex-con thrown together to pull off a robbery of the ill-gained earnings of a corrupt politician. But when the heist goes wrong, the two find themselves engulfed in a whirlwind of chaos, pursued not only by police, but also backwards bureaucrats and vengeful crime bosses. Completely out of their depth, they convince Rory’s therapist to join their riotous getaway through the city, where they must put aside their differences and work together to evade capture — or worse.
The Instigators was directed by Doug Liman and written by Chuck MacLean and Casey Affleck. The movie stars Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Hong Chau, Michael Stuhlbarg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, Toby Jones, Jack Harlow, and Ron Perlman.
