The newly-released Caught Stealing trailer is aptly set to the iconic riffs of The Clash’s punk rock classic Should I Stay or Should I Go, as, for much of the time, Butler’s character doesn’t look like he knows whether he’s coming or going. That’s because he unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a criminal enterprise after accepting an innocent cat-sitting job from his friend Russ (a mohawked Matt Smith), forcing him to navigate a world he never imagined and find an entirely new use for his baseball bat — per the official synopsis below.
“Hank Thompson (Butler) was a high-school baseball phenom who can’t play anymore, but everything else is going okay. He’s got a great girl (Kravitz), tends bar at a New York dive, and his favorite team is making an underdog run at the pennant. When his punk-rock neighbor Russ (Smith) asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, Hank suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters. They all want a piece of him; the problem is he has no idea why. As Hank attempts to evade their ever-tightening grip, he’s got to use all his hustle to stay alive long enough to find out.”
