Vengeance (2022)

"A one-of-a-kind movie that's so wide awake and sharp-edged it marks the arrival of a potentially major filmmaker."

"Vengeance will make you want to punch B.J. Novak in the face — in a good way."

"Thinly amusing..."

"This movie’s sophisticated theorising and busy storytelling can’t disguise its essential banality."

"As entertaining as it is offbeat..."

"Consistently funny and insightful..."

"A jumbled, fitfully amusing, occasionally fascinating effort..."

"Vengeance has some infrequent laughs and, to Novak’s credit, is well-paced. But ultimately it just doesn’t have much to say..."

"It's a smart, dark comedy with a little neo-noir about it."

"(Vengeance) has some flashes of wit and an impressive desire to upend expectations but also suffers from a smug tone and a listless lead performance."

"A film that constantly surprises... mostly in a good way."

"For most of its runtime, Vengeance can't really decide whether (Ben's) supposed to be the hero or the heel..."

"A dynamite feature directorial debut..."

"A shrewd satire that’s a pleasure to watch."

"Intriguing..."
