In “The Instigators,” a poorly planned heist targeting a corrupt Boston mayor goes disastrously wrong. Matt Damon and Casey Affleck star as Rory and Cobby, two inexperienced criminals hired by a small-time crime boss to steal election night cash from the mayor. The plot quickly spirals into chaos, showcasing Damon as a blue-collar novice and Affleck as an alcoholic ex-con. Directed by Doug Liman, the film contrasts sharply with slick heist movies like Ben Affleck’s “The Town.”
