Upon first watch, Buddy feels like it should have been aired on Adult Swim at four in the morning.

If you want to feel the rush, you have to take the risk.

This is not a film, it’s a drop tower.  A drop tower that you don’t get off of for the vast majority of its 106-minute runtime. 

Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing is a gritty, darkly funny thrill ride through 1998 New York, with Austin Butler delivering a raw, magnetic turn as Hank Thompson—a washed-up ex-ballplayer turned bartender whose life implodes after cat-sitting for his punk neighbor drags him into a violent underworld of gangsters, crooked cops, and chaos. Brutal yet unexpectedly hilarious, the film blends noir grit with midnight-movie absurdity, proving Aronofsky can reinvent himself while Butler cements his status as a true movie star.

The sequel to the 2021 remake of the same name continues from where we last left off in this spooky adventure.

Unknown Origins promises a cool spin on superheroes and serial killers, but ultimately delivers cheap comedy.
