- Jeremiah20. maj 2026Pretty tight script, with set up and payoffs aplenty, even with small things. Characters do logical things and have personal stakes, motivations, and arcs. Fun and interesting and overall a good time. Sure you can nitpick but if you have just a bit of suspension of disbelief you will be more rewarded. Weakest part of the movie is when the Russ the Punk explains the “why, how and all the backstory” part of the plot. Pretty essential for the audience to know. It’s just one big dump of exposition in a heavy british accent that could easily be misheard or heaven forbid you hit the bathroom then and then miss the critical plot info to the entire movie. Cool to see director DA do something very out of his wheelhouse too, something much more mainstream and do a good job with it all. Its nothing amazing but its solid as all get out and good watch for 2 hours of entertainment.
- UatuTheWatcher21. marts 2026Caught Stealing is definitely a departure for Darren Aronofsky but in the least exciting ways. It's full of familiar tropes and story beats we've seen before but Aronofsky just doesn't do much of anything to differentiate it or raise the script above feeling so generic. It's entertaining here and there but overall there wasn't much of a personality on display. Because I kept waiting for the film to come into its own and give me a hint as to why Aronofsky was drawn to this story and it honestly just never came. Every new character feels increasingly more one-noted and the whole plot that the Austin Butler character gets dragged into is disappointingly straight forward. Austin Butler is great and I liked the fact that the movie never lost sight of this being a truly normal character totally out of his depth and they never took a convoluted jump with his skill set which I appreciated. He has a self destructive nature that I never really felt came to ahead and where they leave him off didn't really feel that set up to be a satisfying conclusion Honestly it felt like it was trying to set up a sequel that I doubt is ever going to happen. It's a really stacked cast over all but the colourful characters the trailers teased never really come about on screen and ended up feeling like a massive waste of some amazing talent. Zoe Kravitz has great chemistry with Butler but her character just fizzles out of the narrative after a while and she just ends up feeling like the standard girlfriend archetype. Matt Smith doesn't get much to do after an intriguing set up and Regina King is let down by the writing of a character who feels like she belongs in a different movie. Liev Schreiber and Vincent D'Onofrio end up feeling like the only ones who get real characters to play and the script actually capitalises on their potential. The energy of the whole film just shoots up every time they're on screen and a development surrounding those two characters raised the third act up quite a bit higher for me. While not perfect the first half is where the movie most captivated me. It really does effectively put you in this period and it's where the chemistry between Butler and Kravitz is on full display and the film is all the better for it. It's got a lot of that signature Aronofsky griminess and the violence is a lot more effective than I expected it to be. But as soon as it's revealed what all these characters are fighting over it just never truly regained my interest. The pacing slows down as the few characters I like have their appearances cut down and there's very few surprises. It's well directed but the visuals are surprisingly flat and the pacing just lagged on more and more as the runtime went on. Caught Stealing isn't a bad movie but it's middling in the most disappointing ways and sometimes that's so much worse. I kept waiting for the movie to do anything to set its self apart and not only did it never come but the more it went on the more surprised I was to see this many people of this calibre attached to something so without its own identity. I don't mind familiar beats but this film doesn't do anything interesting with them and nothing about the craft on display improves the final product. A departure for Aronofsky without a doubt but not a satisfying one.
- Tyler S30. september 2025This movie movie checks a lot of boxes for me i.e. taking place in the 90's, an everyday normal guy protagonist thrust into a crazy situation, insane over the top villains, a British punk who swears constantly, an awesome cat (I'm a cat guy) and a slew of twists I didn't see coming. By far Aronofsky's most audience friendly movie with a taste of some of the fucked up sensibilities of his past work. Austin Butler is a certified leading man now, he is in nearly the entire runtime and keeps us invested from start to finish. The supporting cast is top notch too with fun small roles from Griffin Dunne and Action Bronson. If you've seen the trailers then you know of some of the other actors that are scary and hilarious in equal measure that I don't want to spoil here. To cap it all off Aronofsky's regular DP Matthew Libatique gives the movie a pulse and vibe that makes this a must see big screen experience to end the summer season with a bang. Highly Recommended! 👍👍 8.5/10
- Patrick Wai17. januar 2026Austin Butler did a great job playing the down-and-out ex-baseball protege with Zoe Kravitz as his street-smart paramedic girlfriend. Enjoyable story unfortunately not enough character development to make us care so the film will likely be quickly forgotten. The set designer did a fantastic job of recreating mid-90s NYC.
