Austin Butler Has a Surprising Link to That Cameo in the ‘Caught Stealing’ Mid-Credits

Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for 'Caught Stealing'Caught Stealing, the new black comedy-crime film starring Austin Butler, might seem like a stark outlier in Darren Aronofsky's filmography, but he proved he could stay in this lane for the foreseeable future. The 1998-set crime thriller, based on screenwriter Charlie Huston's novel, feels heavily inspired by Martin Scorsese's After Hoursand a handful of Quentin Tarantino films from the '90s and the wave of movies with foul-mouthed gangsters and crimes gone wrong. Despite being a pastiche, Caught Stealing is a rip-roaring piece of entertainment that still features Aronofsky's sobering ruminations on death, trauma, and guilt.
