What is The Instigators all about?
The Instigators is an action comedy film starring Matt Damon as Rory, an unlucky and desperate father who teams up with ex-convict Cobby, played by Casey Affleck, to steal money from a crooked politician to make their lives better again. But this leads to a sudden turn of events where their planned heist goes completely off track.
The duo now must get their lives out of the hands of police, corrupt bureaucrats, and underground crime lords. While on the run, they manage to convince Rory's therapist, played by Hong Chau, to act as their hostage and make their escape. The duo, now a trio despite their differences, is bound to work together to avoid getting captured.
The Instigators first trailer depicts Casey Affleck and Matt Damon as robbers on the run
The trailer presents Rory's first mission as a con, an ex-marine forced to change his career, hoping to be a better and more providing father. We see Rory taking sessions with his therapist to fix things with his son, whom he couldn't look in the eye. He is stuck under the debts, mortgage interest, and back child support bills and wants to get his hands on anything that could get him out of it.
The elections are about to take place in a week, and he gets the opportunity to devise a plan and rob the corrupt mayor who is holding a party on election night. There would be big money exchanges, creating a grand opportunity for a heist. But things go wrong, which sends them under the radar of corrupt bureaucrats and underground crime lords who want to get hold of them before the police do.
Rory has no other option but to take the help of his therapist and convince her to become their hostage. With cops and sirens behind, high-speed dirty car chases, guns, and blazing houses, Liam brings a completely new action-packed comedy that will be an absolutely fun watch on the screen.
