Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- [New] | Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Crime capers do not come as fast, as furious, or as amusing as Caught Stealing. With strong performances and a well-paced story, Caught Stealing works as a breezy if a bit gruesome crime caper.
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Although there are multiple soul-crushing events for Hank in the film, Aronofsky seems to rein in his more depressing tendencies in favor of a fast-paced crime thriller.
- Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: It may be an uneven excursion into danger and discombobulation, but the payoff is worth the wait.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The “wrong man” movie has long been a staple of cinema…Aronofsky has delivered one of the most gut-wrenching entries in the genre…in a grittier, 1998 New York City.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A generic crime thriller drowning in a bloodbath of clichés. The most shocking twist is that it comes from Darren Aronofsky, a director once synonymous with bold innovation.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Austin Butler and Darren Aronofsky hold this caper film together.
- Dan Lybarger @ Media Mikes
- Excerpt: If there is one thing that the pandemic and the advent of streaming have not changed about the entertainment industry, it’s that any movie entering the marketplace around Labor Day is going to be lacking.
- Nell Minow @ rogerebert.com
- Excerpt: A tight, twisty script, meaningful stakes, a top director (Darren Aronofsky), and an A-plus cast have delivered a satisfyingly sharp thriller, “Caught Stealing.” It is also the most powerful PSA for wearing your seatbelt than any movie since the one they showed us in high school Driver’s Ed.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: An easy-to-consume crime thriller with a swaggering Austin Butler in the lead, Caught Stealing abandons the deeper themes and close attention to performance that have defined Darren Aronofsky’s best work. What it delivers instead is one of his most straightforward, surface-level movies – fun but forgettable.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: Caught Stealing is a fast-paced throwback movie where both action and characters are balanced with precision, and its visuals are timed perfectly to elicit gasps of anxiety and pain that merge with hard-earned laughs.
- Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: Austin Butler stars in Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing, a mistaken identity, comic thriller through the mob-controlled back alleys of 1990s New York City.
- Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: A lightweight crime film with snappy dialogue.
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: An experience of dark humour, violence, and unexpected narrative twists that, without feeling particularly original or novel, at least manages to show a slightly less cynical and depressing side of the filmmaker.
