Black Rabbit fans think Jason Bateman is the driving force of the show
Even though fans have appreciated both Jude Law and Jason Bateman for their roles in Black Rabbit, many felt that it was Bateman who was the driving force of the show. A recent Reddit post saw fans discussing how Black Rabbit was not up to the mark; several Redditors disagreed with the stance and, in turn, appreciated Bateman's performance.
Taking to Reddit, u/Mgb2020 wrote,
"Thought I wouldn't like it, then binged 7 episodes last night Jude Law is great, but Jason Bateman carries it. I was hooked, so hard disagree there.
Speaking about Bateman's performance, another comment read,
"Bateman is flawless" commented u/lookingforaniceplace
Meanwhile, u/sabes0129 wrote,
"I loved it personally. I thought it was a fun, wild ride and the performances were all great. Jason Bateman especially made me love his character despite being so flawed and causing all the conflict due to his poor choices."
Jason Bateman's performance in Black Rabbit is magnetic. His character Vince is anything but likable. He's messy and unpredictable, and he eventually became the driving force of the show. Even though his moral compass is as crooked as his gambling debts. He mixes subtle humor with tension, making Vince compelling even during tense sequences.
While Jude Law's Jake balances ambition, Vince brings in unpredictability. His presence keeps the series alive, pulling viewers into Vince's world and every risky step he takes.
In short, Jason Bateman is the heartbeat of the show. And for those who have not watched it yet, the ending comes with a twist that none expected. Vince's character arc is defined by his desperate attempts to fix his life through schemes that land him in more trouble.
Even though he's a flawed character, his arc is one of the most memorable ones from the series: from a chaos magnet to someone consumed by guilt and seeking closure.
