When his punk-rock neighbour asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, New York City bartender Hank Thompson suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters who all want a piece of him.
Set in the East Village, burned out baseball player turned bartender Hank Thompson (Austen Butler) is unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival among the thugs and sociopaths of the downtown criminal underworld in 1990s New York City. This is Aronofsky’s first film since ‘The Whale’ in 2022 and Austen leads a stellar cast which includes Zoe Kravitz as his girlfriend Yvonne, Regina King, Vincent D’Onofrio, Liev Schreiber and an almost unrecognisable Matt Smith, sporting a flame-coloured Mohican hairstyle!
