Caught Stealing (2025) Movie Review | A Wild Crime Odyssey You Can't MissCaution: not your average crime thriller.Caught Stealing, directed by Darren Aronofsky and written by Charlie Huston—based on Huston’s graphic novel—plunges viewers into the gritty, chaotic underbelly of 1990s New York City. The film follows Hank Thompson (Austin Butler), a former high-school baseball phenom turned bartender whose life spirals into mayhem after a simple favor: cat-sitting for his punk-rock neighbor.
