Rabbit Hole
What's the Story?
RABBIT HOLE stars Kiefer Sutherland as John Weir, a corporate espionage expert hired to pull con jobs on companies and investors. But when his latest scheme takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself framed for murder — with his face plastered all over the news and the city. Flashbacks to a traumatic childhood hint that John has a complicated history, and it may be catching up with him. He's clearly ensnared in a massive conspiracy, but who's pulling the strings and where will it lead?
Is It Any Good?
This fast-paced thriller unleashes one twist after another, building layers of a mysterious conspiracy that viewers can expect will culminate in a big payoff. Rabbit Hole channels the kinetic energy of Sutherland's 24, with chases, explosions, and kidnappings galore. A strong supporting cast and the introduction of Weir's troubled past flesh out the story, bolstering the action with psychological intrigue. A dash of dark humor (mostly at the expense of badder-than-Weir guys) keeps the show from being relentlessly intense.
