In "Caught," overweight, workaholic Joe (Edward James Olmos) and his pretty, restless wife Betty (Maria Conchita Alonso) are a middle-aged couple who have drifted into the humdrum routine of running their small fish market in Jersey City.
Their only child, an adult son named Danny (Steven Schub), is on the other coast, where he has been failing as a standup comic for a couple of years.

Caught'' wasn't written for Latino actors, and it's a nice break from convention to see them play ing characters that aren't ethnically specific.
But that doesn't make the story any more plausible, and in the end, ``Caught'' survives on the actors' appeal and on Young's ability to draw them out and give them a showcase in which to shine.

In "Caught," Robert Young's melancholic drama about sexual wrongdoing and moral conflict, Olmos is Joe, a Jersey City tradesman with a bad heart and some unhinged dreams.
Danny is a fascinating grotesquerie, a shameless mugger who's just about unbearable to watch (Schub gives a startling performance).

Caught'' is a throwback to a time when the movies thought about sex more simply, as something that people wanted so much that sometimes it overwhelmed their better senses.
And that strong elemental power, coursing under the surface of the story, gives it a strength that elevates melodrama almost to tragedy.
