Caught Stealing
Austin Butler ditches the tux and taps into full-throttle grit in Caught Stealing, Darren Aronofsky’s latest plunge into the dark side of humanity. The film, now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV, marks a bold new turn for both the actor and the visionary director.
Based on Charlie Huston’s cult classic novel, Caught Stealing is a breakneck crime thriller that follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a washed-up former baseball player whose life spirals into violence after what seems like a simple favor. One dead cat, a mysterious key, and several broken noses later, Hank finds himself caught in a web of mobsters, dirty cops, and double-crosses—with nothing but his instincts and fists to guide him.
Directed with Darren Aronofsky’s trademark intensity, the film blends high-stakes action with a gritty emotional core. Think Requiem for a Dream meets John Wick, but with Butler anchoring the chaos with raw vulnerability and feral energy.
Butler, best known for his Oscar-nominated turn as Elvis Presley, completely reinvents himself here. Gone are the rhinestones and swagger—in their place is a man with nothing left to lose, running for his life through a brutal, neon-lit New York underworld. It’s a performance that’s already sparking awards season whispers.
Whether you’re in it for the adrenaline, the artistry, or Austin Butler’s star-making transformation, Caught Stealing delivers.
