Review of Rake

Rake (2014)
1/10
Pathetic attempt to remake Aussie gem
31 January 2014
...and I live in the northern hemisphere. The original is simply brilliant, filled with compelling performance and thought-through narrative; this ones takes wide strokes... as a child, trying to copy a masterpiece.

I like the cast, by the way! - Kinnear, the girl from late seasons of Boston Legal... but the acting and perverted script taking most flashy points, yet failing to grasp the major scheme. Rake (US) is still-born.

I honestly hope that this one will die out after season one. As it should.

Avoid. And YES, see the original Rake.
