Whether behind or in front of the camera, Ben Affleck has plenty of experience with thrillers. He made his directorial debut with 2010’s Gone Baby Gone, about a pair of private investigators looking for a missing girl. The Town is about bank robbers and Argo is about the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. Earlier this year, Affleck and his longtime collaborator Matt Damon played members of a tactical narcotics squad in the Netflix original movie The Rip.
