My take from the Movies Seen thread:

> **Caught Stealing** I wish I could recommend this one. I was really looking forward to this story of a hapless hero drawn into a world of gangsters and double crosses through no fault of his own. . It has a sterling cast and some worthy black-comedy elements, but the story never coheres into something I cared about. It is set in late 90s NYC and captures that retro atmosphere, But the plot holes poke through and I ended up not caring enough about the protagonist to be pulled into the film. Others may find the performances and action scenes to be enough, though.
