This film is intense! Aussie Austin Butler plays Hank, a bar man battling alcohol addiction living in New York who agrees to feed his neighbour’s cat. So far so normal. Then some seriously dodgy characters come looking for Hank’s cat owning neighbour and incorrectly assume he knows more than he does about what the missing cat owning neighbour has been up to! CHAOS ENSUES! Genuinely, the tension and chaos just builds and builds until you feel like you might burst! Suffice to say, there’s drugs and money involved.
There’s a fair bit of violence so Caught Stealing is not for the faint-hearted but it’s a rollicking ride which I’d definitely recommend. I saw it with my 20-something year old nephew and he loved it too. Austin Butler is superb, as is the supporting cast of Zoe Kravitz, Matt Smith, Regina King, Liev Schreiber and more.
Caught Stealing is rated MA15+, runs 107 minutes and is in cinemas now.
