Darren Aronofsky's Thriller 'Caught Stealing' Finds New Life on Netflix

Darren Aronofsky's action thriller 'Caught Stealing' is set to find a new life on Netflix after its quiet run in theaters. The film, which cost $40 million to make, closed at just over $32.6 million at the box office, creating a gap it never managed to cover during its cinematic release.

Despite the film's commercial struggles, it has continued to find new supporters, hinting that its life was far from over. The thriller, which adapts Charlie Huston's 2004 novel, has earned fresh recognition through its R rating and confident pacing, drawing praise from critics who called it entertaining and full of joy, surprises, strong performances, and even a touch of heartbreak.

Now, as 'Caught Stealing' reaches streaming on November 29, 2025, it enters a space where word of mouth travels quickly and where films often receive the second life they deserve. The film's powerful performances, led by Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz, along with its gritty and tightly-wound narrative, are poised to captivate a wider audience and potentially find the success it deserved in theaters.
