Burned-out ex-baseball player Hank Thompson unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a dangerous struggle for survival amidst the criminal underbelly of late 1990s New York City, forced to navigate a treacherous underworld he never imagined.

A freewheeling throwback, Caught Stealing splendidly showcases Austin Butler's movie star charisma while marking a surprisingly lighthearted gearshift for director Darren Aronofsky.

A diverting, pulpy caper with ‘90s flair, Caught Stealing is a gritty, violent ride fueled by the charisma of Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz.

'Caught Stealing' has stylish cinematography, intense action sequences, and strong performances, particularly from Austin Butler. The supporting cast, including Zoe Kravitz and Regina King, is also highlighted for their strong performances. Reviewers also enjoy the recreation of 1990s New York and the use of period-specific details throughout. However, some reviewers find the plot convoluted and the tone inconsistent. The film's attempt to blend dark humor with violence is noted, with mixed reactions. Overall, "Caught Stealing" is seen as a bold attempt by Darren Aronofsky to blend crime and comedy, though it may not fully satisfy all viewers.
