Matt Damon and Casey Affleck play complete strangers thrown into their first heist in the new action comedy “The Instigators.” The robbery of a corrupt politician goes wrong, and their characters are left on the run in Boston. The film, written by Affleck and Chuck MacLean and directed by Doug Liman, is both a throwback to movies like “Midnight Run” and modern, made by a streamer with artists equality in mind. Affleck, Damon and Hong Chau spoke to The Associated Press about the movie, in theaters now and on AppleTV+ on Friday.
