'Black Rabbit' - the big city answer to 'Ozark'
Cape Argus
|September 29, 2025
IT'S DIFFICULT to go wrong with a series led and directed by Jason Bateman, and crime thriller Black Rabbit, which was released on Netflix last week, is no exception.

The show stars Bateman (who directed two of the episodes) as one of the lead roles alongside Jude Law in this intensely riveting and sometimes disturbing tale. The supporting cast of Cleopatra Coleman, Amaka Okafor, Chris Goy, Sope Dirisu, and Forrest Weber all combine for an intriguing watch which explores themes of family, loyalty, addiction and the criminal underworld.
The actors portray brothers; Law plays Jake Friedken, a suave womaniser, big-time businessman who runs an incredibly successful bar/ restaurant in New York. His older brother Vince is something of a misfit and struggles to keep his life on the straight and narrow.
