Often in contemporary films, when we watch an animal on the screen, there is a strong chance that it is about creating CGI. That CGI is pretty convincingly most of the time, but it's never just like the right thing. There is a person who can bring the real animal. It's part of what makes The latest film by director Darren Aronofsky, "caught as stealing", so damn fun. Yes, it is a busy crime caper, anchored by Elvis Starvis Austin Butler, but it's a Buddh cat that proves to be a little thief on stage.

The film focuses on Hank Thompson (Butler), a former phenomenon in high school baseball, which can no longer play and now serves as a bartender in a diving bar in New York. One day, his Packer neighbor Rus (Matt Smith) asks him to take care of his cat bud for a few days. Hank and Bud then unwittingly caught in the middle of a bunch of gangsters who all want something they think there are. As the chaos around Hank appears, Bud is there to help light the tension and offer this former baseball player something like an emotional anchor.

Bud is shown by a cat's tonic, which is something of a movie Starwar in its ownership. Tonic's summary also includes Davy from Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving" and, in particular, he was one of Eight cats "Diva Package" that brought the church to life in 2019 "Five Semar". Directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Videmier, the film served as the second major adaptation of the driving image of the novel Steven King with the same name, following the 1989 version by Mary Lambert. It should also be noted that Bud was shown by several cats in "caught theft", with tonic only one of them.

The 2019 Pet Semar version has its differences from King's novelBut the cat's church is one of the most important characters because it gives evidence positively that sometimes the dead are better. While there were more cats that helped bring the church to life in that film, Tonic was one of them, and he is probably the band's largest movie starvet. He has more than 14,000 followers on Instagram, and his account is full of photos of unforgettable red carpet performances and what not.

For anyone who has seen the two films, it would be painful to say that they are wildly different works of the cinema. "Five semar" is "scary as hell", as Chris Evangelista put it in his 2019 film review. It is a terrible drive with a cat - and in the end people - who are back from the dead thanks to a special, wicked cemetery. On the other hand, "caught stealing" is fun, yet emotional, high crime deposits. The films are not only totally ill, but also the cat in the center of each of them is also.

The church begins as a quintessential family pet before it becomes something absolutely hell. Bud, meanwhile, is a small foam package, which is only slightly revealed but loved to the end. We often think of human actors, such as Butler, as a very range. But the tonic has shown through these two films that cat performers can have an impressive range as well.

"Caught stealing" opens in theaters on August 29, 2025.
