Black Rabbit
What's the Story?
Jake Friedken (Jude Law) owns the BLACK RABBIT, a restaurant and exclusive lounge in New York City. Desperate to impress critics, Jake stumbles through his day managing staff, supporting his son, and putting out any fires. When his hapless, estranged brother Vince (Jason Bateman) shows up one day and asks for money, Jake grudgingly agrees to help. If Vince can stick around and help at the restaurant (that he helped build) while their deceased mother's estate check clears, he'll get more than enough to cover his debts. But someone in town has some grievances to settle with Vince, and the restaurant, their brotherhood, and their lives might be the price.
Is It Any Good?
The compelling duo of Bateman and Law play off each other well in this tense, fast-paced, dark crime thriller. Audiences will find the Black Rabbit fraternal bond fascinating, whether they're struggling with restaurant critic ratings or debt collectors threatening death. The language, violence, drinking, and drug use makes this show suitable for older teens.
