“The Instigators” Poster and Trailer

Apple TV, comedy, crime, , ,

Doug Liman directed The Instigators. The story follows Rory, played by Matt Damon, and Cobby, played by Casey Affleck, who are reluctant partners. One is a desperate father, and the other is 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 by backward bureaucrats and vengeful crime bosses. Completely out of their depth, they convince Rory’s therapist, played by Hong Chau, to join their riotous getaway through the city, where they must put aside their differences and work together to evade capture—or worse.

Written by Chuck MacLean and Casey Affleck, The Instigators also stars Michael Stuhlbarg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, and Toby Jones, with Jack Harlow and Ron Perlman.

Our Friend

Directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, Our Friend tackles cancer in an unusual vein of how it not only affects the family but a close friend who steps in to help — based on a true story.

The film tells an inspiring and extraordinary true story of the Teague family—journalist Matt, played by Casey Affleck, his vibrant wife Nicole, played by Dakota Johnson, and their two adolescent daughters, played by Violet McGraw and Isabella Kai. The true story follows how their lives become upended by Nicole’s heartbreaking diagnosis of terminal cancer.

As Matt’s responsibilities as caretaker and parent become increasingly overwhelming, the couple’s best friend, Dane Faucheux, played by Jason Segel, offers to come and help. As Dane puts his life on hold to stay with his friends, the impact of this life-altering decision proves greater and more profound than anyone could have imagined.

“The Old Man & the Gun” Trailers, Featurettes, and Poster

Written and directed by David Lowery, The Old Man & the Gun is based on the true story of Forrest Tucker and his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public.

Robert Redford, Casey Affleck, and Sissy Spacek with Elizabeth Moss and Danny Glover as co-stars.

Lowery works as both writer and director on his films. He tends to work with Casey Affleck. His credits include A Ghost Story, Pete’s Dragon, and Ain’t Them Bodies Saints.

A great featurette about the director who also wrote the screenplay.

The “The Sundance Kids Reunited” is a great featurette. It is so cool to see a story like this in the film business.

The “Playing Icons” featurette is fun to watch because it tells the story and shows how fun the movie is to watch.

The movie trailer shows more of what will happen in the movie. The cast list is stellar.

The movie trailer tells the story pretty well, and I love the scenes with Redford and Spacek.
