“The Instigators” may be a modern streaming movie for Apple but it’s a decidedly old-school kind of caper, stock full of local color and peopled with character-actor faces you’re happy to see. In it, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck return to Boston terrain that's for them about as a cozy as bleacher seat in Fenway Park.

Therapists have made their ways into crime dramas like “The Sopranos,” but “The Instigators” adds a novel wrinkle by bringing Dr. Rivera along for the ride. When Rory and Cobby go on the run, she tags along as a hostage by choice. For them, the blue-collar Boston terrain of “The Instigators” is about as a cozy as bleacher seat in Fenway Park. “The Instigators” doesn’t live up to other Damon-Afflecks Beantown-set movies , and some of their Dunkin’ Donuts-adjacent schtick is at least approaching stale. You could call it a homecoming but it’s more like they never left.
