Review of Caught

Caught (1996)
A genuine sleeper
3 February 1999
Here's one I saw on cable at two in the morning, and what a pleasant surprise. Part working class BODY HEAT, part character study, CAUGHT avoids possible soap opera pitfalls with realistic dialogue, microscopic scale and Young's compelling direction. Occasionally the story seems to veer towards melodrama, then moves back toward intense, logically motivated realism. When Olmos and Alonzo's son pops in, the third act crescendos with emotional fireworks and a somewhat-necessarily overblown ending.
