Caught Stealing

Translated from swedish: Have you always wanted to see the gorgeous Austin Butler get beat up? Then Darren Aronofsky's new thriller, the painfully entertaining "Caught Stealing", might be the film for you.

Translated from swedish: A new film by Darren Aronofsky always sparks curiosity. The director has now created a shamelessly entertaining action-comedy where a cat triggers a series of unlikely events in a gritty 1998 New York. Austin Butler and Matt Smith are phenomenal in their respective underdog roles.

Translated from swedish: It has a fast-paced tempo, I was never bored, the main character was interesting to follow, and I constantly wanted to see where the story was heading.

Translated from swedish: I think "Caught Stealing" is a really, really good film. At first I was sitting there considering whether I should give it the highest rating. It felt a bit like when you saw Tarantino's first films in the '90s, even though Aronofsky's film is stylistically different. The third act does drag down the overall impression somewhat. But: this is damn good, exciting and fucking entertaining. Definitely one of the year's best films!

Translated from swedish: It lacks Darren Aronofsky's signature pretentious symbolism and deep dives into the darkest corners of the psyche. Instead, this is a compact, stylish, and utterly elegant action film in all its grittiness. I can't help but feel disappointed.

Translated from swedish: The drama, thriller, and crime elements work really, really well. But there's another genre in the mix – and unfortunately, it drags down the overall rating.

Translated from swedish: "Caught Stealing" is a gripping story about an ordinary, decent young man who suddenly has to defend himself against violent criminals. Though maybe a bit too violent at times for my taste. With surprising twists and thoughtfully, professionally told, well-integrated as a whole. Scattered parts turned out to form a clever unity.

Translated from swedish: If the intention is to give the film psychological depth through flashbacks and nightmares, it doesn't work particularly well. Along with the comic book-like character Russ, this isn't exactly a movie that stays with you after the credits roll. But it does make you long for New York.

Translated from swedish: "Caught Stealing" is too slick, too well-acted, too well-made to be so flat. At least it reminds you of cinema's wonderful ability to transport viewers through time and space. This time around: the nineties, some video store. Where you stand brain-dead, staring at the shelf of cool dude flicks.
