Black Rabbit

Matt Roush says...

Oh, brother! Ozark‘s Jason Bateman returns to Netflix as executive producer, director (of the first two episodes), and star, opposite Jude Law, of a gripping yet exasperating eight-part thriller that strains the bonds of brotherly love and devotion. “You’re a degenerate and I’m a fake,” explains ambitious restaurateur Jake Friedken (Law) to his irresponsible shaggy-dog sibling Vince (Bateman), who’s returned from exile to New York City with dangerous debtors on his trail. Years ago, the Friedkens opened Black Rabbit, now a hip downtown NYC restaurant and club, before Vince’s reckless behavior led to a falling-out. His timing couldn’t be worse, because Jake the hustler is looking to expand his business uptown, and Vince’s latest schemes plunge everyone in his orbit, especially Jake, down a rabbit hole of peril.
