Caught Stealing

Saw this in theaters in France, movie came out earlier there.

A good crime thriller! Personally it's not something we haven't seen before, there are tons of good crime movies, but honestly the characters, cinematography and the humor, not forget the performances make this movie stand out.

It's extremely violent tho, gritty and darker than advertised, and if you're fan of Aronofsky's work, this will certainly not disappoint you. It's an amazing film and he really captures his own style. No matter the genre.

For me the best crime we've gotten this year.

Sneakly and unexpectedly one of the most entertaining films of the year. Good Time mixed with Pi and After Hours, with a touch of Guy Ritchie was a combination that crafted a film as interesting as all these other works mentioned. The script may be simple and lack certain depth, but the movie makes it up for it with personality. The atmosphere of 1990s New York is striking, and the cinematography was excellent, greatly utilizing color and the photographed spaces to create captivating settings. I really enjoyed the culture clash between the characters, who, due to their different nationalities and religions, have different personalities, methods, and approaches to dealing with the film's central situation, especially the dynamic between Hank, a small-town American, and Russ, a British punk. The dialogue is quite engaging.

Not his best, but a memorable entry in aronosfky's filmography.

This is a (very) dark comedy. This is a very entertaining film. This is a surprise.

As you might expect from the above, I didn't have high expectations going in to see this - I'd seen the trailer, and wasn't convinced. However, it turned out I was wrong.

The cast really gave this film some welly. It almost seems wrong to single out anyone, but Butler, King, Kravitz, and Smith, clearly enjoyed their roles. Some of the other characters, notably Kukushkin, gave the film both an edge and humour.

The Director kept the movie pacing along, for what turned out to be a highly entertaining and fun film. The plot was vaguely bonkers, but worked well, and had some really tense, and some very funny moments; not always an easy juxtaposition to get right. The script was sparing, and well balanced.

It's nice to be proved wrong occasionally. This is a film well worth seeing.

Caught Stealing is a wild, almost slapstick crime thriller that feels like a Coen Brothers movie set in the gritty, pre-gentrification New York of the late '90s. I loved how the film captured the city's vibe, from the seedy bars to the run-down apartments.

Austin Butler does a great job grounding the chaos with his "wrong place, wrong time" character. But honestly, the standout for me was the cat, Bud. It's a hilarious and surprisingly important part of the story, and the animal acting is a highlight.

I went in expecting another dark psychological drama and came out thoroughly entertained by a fast-paced and witty caper.

Who decided this was a dark comedy/comedy? Despite the trailer appearing to show several humorous scenes, the actual movie had very little humor or comedy. That's not a complaint just a little unexpected observation after seeing the trailer. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and Austin Butler is a very capable actor expertly handling the fast paced action and violence, as well as the more emotional scenes. There were the occasional obvious scenarios played out, but it had enough twists and turns to keep me entertained to the closing credits. Speaking of which don't get up and leave after the initial credits as there are another couple of short scenes.
