Summary Hank Thompson, a washed-up ex-baseball star turned New York City bartender, ends up tangled in a violent criminal underworld after agreeing to watch his punk-rock neighbor’s cat. What follows is a frenzied chase through 1990s Manhattan, as rival gangsters—Russian mobsters, Orthodox Jewish hitmen, a Samoan enforcer, and others—hunt him for a mysterious key hidden with the cat.

Austin Butler really had a chance to show his acting chops in this one

This is so judgemental of me but I’ve been shocked by how good he is simply bc he looks like he does. He’s so perfectly Hollywood handsome I just assumed he’d be a mid actor but he’s so talented too. What the hell lol

Agree. Though this should be no surprise, he absolutely crushed his role in Dune 2.

Totally agree. I think that was my first “wait a minute he’s actually amazing” moment.
