Caught Stealing REVIEW: Austin Butler Is ‘Caught Stealing’ in First Trailer for New Crime Thriller

Austin Butler is on the run in the first trailer for Darren Aronofsky‘s 90s-set New York crime-thriller Caught Stealingbut the only thing the actor may be guilty of is stealing scenes, as he takes a leading role as former baseball player Henry “Hank” Thompson in the upcoming caper. The star-studded ensemble also features Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, and an unrecognizable former Doctor Who actor. Butler will seemingly need all the help he can get from this crowd, but not everyone will be on his team.

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.”
