Director Darren Aronofsky – with his penchant for dark psychological thrillers – is the divisive filmmaker behind Black Swan, Mother!, and the controversial 2022 film The Whale; here, he tries to inject a rare dose of levity into proceedings. Caught Stealing leans heavily on the sparky chemistry between its leads – the willowy, pouty-faced movie star on the make Austin Butler, late of Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 Elvis biopic – and his laconic East Village girlfriend, Yvonne, played by the equally gorgeous Zoë Kravitz.

He zips between crooked cops, Russian mobsters and, in an attempt to exonerate himself, the Hasidic Jewish community, repetitively attracting Looney-Tunes punches to the face as he goes. As he continually tries to prove his innocence, his life falls further apart – making him look all the more guilty to the authorities, as well as to the hitmen who want to kill him.

Caught Stealing’s zany mix of comedy and drama tests your patience at times – though its crackerjack sexual tension is hard to argue with, and Austin Butler is a genuine, stop-and-take-notice screen presence. His charisma may well hold the whole inchoate package together, as he stammers and shrugs his way through the electric energy of the city.
And while Aronofsky is hardly reinventing the crime genre or digging deep to interrogate important matters, he is clearly having a wonderful time plunging Butler into this scrappy little movie full of nocturnal crazies and ne’er-do-wells.
