Three new films present a subversive crime-caper deconstruction, a warm debut about recovery and romance, and a meticulously staged Rashomon-style nuclear thriller.
At first blush, Darren Aronofsky seems like the least-likely candidate for something like Caught Stealing. Sony's new crime caper, adapted from Charlie Huston's 2004 novel of the same name, was positioned as a spicy- if razor-edged - late-summer romp, leaning heavier on the central romance between its red-hot stars than on the dark action that threatens to tear them apart. It felt like the latest offering from Edgar Wright or Guy Ritchie, not the guy who gave us Black Swanand Requiem for a Dream.
