We've been here before, with Richard Gere swaggering his way through an LA crime story. But Jon Bernthal, unfortunately, struggles to replicate that magic. Check out Nina_Metz's review of 'American Gigolo.'
Jon Bernthal as Julian Kaye, the role originated in the 1980 film version of"American Gigolo." The new TV series is both somehow a prequel and sequel, if you don't scrutinize the timeline too carefully.
That montage is a nod to the mood and visual aesthetics of the original. And yet it all feels so very expected. Boring, even.But perhaps you’re willing to overlook that because Jon Bernthal is here — in the Gere role — to pique your interest. I have some bad news about that as well. Bernthal isn’t your typical leading man, which has been key to his career-long appeal. His looks suggest not a movie star but a guy from the neighborhood, with a nose that has seen a few fights.
This premise makes the series somehow both a prequel and a quasi-sequel if you don’t scrutinize the nonsensical timeline too carefully.Unexpectedly sprung from his prison sentence and adrift in LA, Julian has few ideas about what to do next, except to find out who set him up — and why.
