Austin Bater brings the movie star Charisma to this fun crime

“Theft of theft” is a good movie. Not some modern classic that we need to be extra. Just a good movie. At another time, this may be less special than it is now. In 2025, we are still in this course where almost everything should be a privilege, or it is thrown on the broadcast where it will disappear in the abyss.

In this way, a movie aims to adults with a wonderful team of a great director, feels more private than it was. This type of things was not rare, it was the rule. But now He is Rarely, as a result, the last Darren Arenovsky feels privacy, even if not Type of permanent main work such as “Requiem for the Dream” Or any other cold director’s films. Instead, he collaborated with Austin Berter and Charlie Huston to make fun in movies, which is easy and simple.

The film focuses on Hank Thompson (Bater), a pre -high school phenomenon in high school that is no longer able to play anymore, now works as a waiter in New York City, and enjoy his new relationship with iPhone (Zoe Kravitz). When his rocky neighbor Ross Ross (Matt Smith) asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, Hank finds himself unintentionally in the midst of several different groups of gangsters. Then Hank’s simple life moves to chaos while mixing it with criminals and trying to keep himself away from prison.

“Theft of theft” depends on the book of the same name by Huston. It was clear that he was the right person to adapt his book on the screen, because the story does not waste time. It is easy to love the characters (or hate), as it is of good danger, and it interacts with the jump. It is also significantly clear.

This does not mean that there are no fluctuations and turn throughout the way – this is a crime after all. It is just a Sony movie that has been marketed to us through trailers. It is exactly the movie that was delivered. Do you want to see Austin Bater run through New York City while trying to escape some bad things? Do you want to see great actors getting a chance to shine in anomalous roles? This is what you will get. We are used to deceptive or smart marketing so that this is almost clear. There are no tricks here. It is incredibly enjoyable and stressful, and sometimes the dust is very exciting crime.

Those who know Araunovsky’s work have a specific expectation. Whether it is a permanent density for “black swan” or bold madness “mother!” Often there is seriousness in his films. It is not exactly a popcorn cinema. He started from the “Oscar -winning” whale, Arenovsky decided to do something completely different and show us aside from him that we have not seen before. This aspect of it is fun. It is active. It is very entertaining.

If his name is not on the poster, one will be severely pressure to connect to “theft” as the Aaronovsky joint. It is a reminder that we contain the crowds and Arunovsky, creatively, not an exception. this Feel closer to early Guy Ritchie films like “Snatch” More than any of Arenovsky’s previous works. It is great to see a man late in his career that showcases such different muscles with confidence.

Not to make it look like there is no drama in the movie because there is definitely. Hank is going through it and because the audience comes to take care of it, and it set his struggles at home. But although there is a healthy dose of dramatic tension, this looks like Aaronovsky enjoys once. Nobody accuses the “wrestler” of being fun. This movie is a lot of things, and fun is one of them.

A movie like this does not have many luxurious special effects to hide behind it. He lives and dies by characters. Aronofsky managed to assemble a wonderful brilliant band carrying the movie, led by Bater, The man who went to “Elvis”; The actor who gets more difficult and more than the top when the situation requires it. In the “theft”, Petler is impressive in the role of Hank, and completely embodies an ordinary man with some great things. He leads him to the ground a little in a very charming way, sometimes tragic. There is the quality of a cinematographer of Petler and almost impossible to imagine anyone else in this role. But “theft of theft” is really a band and all the chess pieces on the blackboard are wonderfully arranged.

Zoe Kravitz continues to confirm itself as stealing a striking scene, which completely plays Hank’s stubbornness. As a husband, they sing. Vincent de Unofrio and Lev Shrebar is especially entertaining as Jewish gangsters are comprehensive and rape – it is difficult to remember these two actors who enjoy more fun on the screen. One of the main surprises is the music star Bad Bunny as the cruel man Colorado, who is an absolute explosion to see. It is not a casting trick. Nihad Matt Smith, whom many of us know from “Doctor He”, “ Going to the full drug that deals with the evil rock at a type of type is very welcome.

For a large extent, as in the “theft of theft”, there is no moment when it rises in some way from good to wonderful – but hey, this is good. It is good and remains good until the credits are rolled, and it is more than enough. Not every new movie needs to be an event. Sometimes, you just want to see a handsome man trying to get out of trouble while taking care of a decorative and delicate cat. We can use more modern films such as “Theft”.
