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 (Matt 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 …”
Rated R, Caught Stealing also stars Regina King, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, Benito Martínez Ocasio (aka Bad Bunny), Griffin Dunne and Carol Kane.
Caught Stealing is expected to arrive on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, Sept. 30, according to When to Stream.
