Overview

• Now in wide release from Sony, the film adapts Charlie Huston’s novel and spotlights 1998 New York with an ensemble featuring Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, Regina King, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Bad Bunny.
• Early reviews emphasize the tonal pivot toward a brisk, pulpy thriller while noting Aronofsky’s familiar brutality and stylish New York atmosphere shot by Matthew Libatique.
• Entertainment outlets published guides that unpack the ending for moviegoers and confirm a post‑credits stinger without revealing specifics.
• Because Huston’s book series continues beyond the first novel, coverage notes built‑in sequel potential rather than a confirmed follow‑up.
• Austin Butler details the physical demands of the role, describing on‑set bruises, risky stunt work, and shaving his head for the character.
