‘The Instigators’ Review: Matt Damon, Casey Affleck & Killer Cast In An Action Crime Comedy That Delivers The Goods
A review of 'The Instigators', a crime centered action comedy with Casey Affleck and Matt Damon as hapless criminals who try to pull off botched heist
Along for the ride – literally – is Rory’s VA psychiatrist Dr. Donna Rivera (Hong Chau), who isn’t exactly a pillar of her profession, as it turns out, when she impulsively joins her patient’s forlorn crusade and finds herself fronting for them as a “hostage” , but really not. Watching all this unfold, often in ways that defy credibility and are more designed for action-hungry audiences willing to enter into a state of disbelief, I kept thinking this movie would really be great if it were somehow one of those true stories stranger than fiction, ala Dog Day Afternoon. Cast: Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Hong Chau, Michael Stuhlbarg, Alfred Molina, Ving Rhames, Tobey Jones, Jack Harlow, Paul Walter Hauser, Ron Perlman, Andre DeShields
