In terms of style and material, Darren Arenovsky’s films tend to have many similarities. Most of them provide dark tests for human experience, and often focus on topics such as the concerns of self -destruction, psychological shock and the like. But the last thing is completely different. “Theft of theft” is a high and chaotic attempt to mix black comedy with the crime movie. She has moments of pop call, but not enough of them.
Aronofsky is directed by a scenario written by Charlie Huston. It is a scenario based on the 2004 Huston novel of the same name. For me, the biggest draw for the film is the rising star Austin Petler. By already nominated the Academy Award under his belt, the 34 -year -old definitely emphasized himself, after he worked with names like Tarantino, Villeneuve, Nichols, ASTER and Aronofsky now.
In 1998, Petler plays the role of Hank Thompson, who is addicted to alcohol in denial who works as a waiter on the eastern side of New York City. Hank was a phenomenon in high school and was expected to be the best choice in the main basic basement. But his future went out of his path after a drunk driving accident killing his friend and wounding his knee. Now he is left while regretting his past and wondering what it might be. To get a lot of wine and his vibrant girlfriend, iPhone (Zoe Cravitz).
One afternoon, Hank and iPhone arrived at his apartment where he received his neighbor, a slow evil rock called Ross (Matt Smith). Ross Hank tells that he returns to London to see his father dies and needs someone to take care of his cat. Hank relucts reluctantly. But things feel crazy when Hank is visited by two Russian mobs, Alexei (Yuri Colkolnikov) and Baville (Nikita Kokushkin) looking for Ross. Hank is beaten by pulp and threatening more if he does not find Ross and the money he stole before skipping the country.
From there, the bustling loud Aaronovsky moves and violence at speed. As is the case, more characters enter chaos, the most prominent of which is Regina King as a police investigator, Elise Roman. I can’t forget Lev Shrebar and Vincent de Onofrio in the role of brother Hasidik Leipa and Somali Draker, and two notorious gangsters with bonds with Ross and the lost money. Like each other character, each of them gives prominent moments. Like each other personality, they are sometimes lost in chaos.
For most of the time of running, the theft has been arrested along a violent comedy, skewed, and ridiculous by nature. However, there is a handful of what should be decisive moments emotionally impossible to take them seriously in the Zany cage. At the same time, the final touches we get from the interesting interests of Aronofsky still deeply thinking about the faulty identity crisis. Even a great band led by the charisma can not make this exercise uneven in the way that should be.
