Austin Butler’s Hank unexpectedly becomes a target for a bunch of criminals after he’s asked to look after his neighbour’s cat.
Director Darren Aronofsky is best known for making dark and depressing films like Requiem for a Dream and The Whale. But with his new film, Caught Stealing, he has made something completely different.
Set in ’90s New York City, this crime comedy thriller follows Hank Thompson (Austin Butler), a barman whose dreams of being a baseball player were cut short by a car accident.
When his British punk rocker neighbour Russell (Matt Smith) asks him to look after his cat while he goes back home, Hank unexpectedly ends up in a web of criminal activity, with two Russians, two Jews and a Puerto Rican on his tail, convinced he knows where Russell is hiding their money. But he doesn’t!
Finally letting loose and having fun after all these years, Aronofsky delivers a lightweight and entertaining crime caper with almost non-stop shoot-outs, fist fights, and chases, and Butler being brutally beaten up over and over again.
This isn’t...
