Novak, Boyd Holbrook, Ashton Kutcher, Louanne Stephens, John Mayer, Clint Obenchain, Rio Alexander, Sarah Minnich<\/strong>\u00a0and Ben Whitehair Tagline:\u00a0 Find the story before it finds you<\/em><\/p>\n The Plot\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Late one night, Ben Manalowitz (Novak) receives a call. Ben’s girlfriend, Abby has died.\u00a0 As Ty (Holbrook) explains his sister died of a drug overdose, Ben struggles to remember Abby.\u00a0 Just as it comes to Ben that Abby was a one-night stand months ago, Ty invites him to her funeral.\u00a0 Ben tries to get out of going but Ty insists.<\/p>\n When Ben arrives to attend the funeral of a girl he barely remembers, he learns that Abby told everyone that she and Ben were in a serious relationship!\u00a0 Ty informs Ben that he believes Abby was murdered. He and Ben will search out the killer(s) and get vengeance for her death.\u00a0 Ben doesn’t think Abby was murdered, but believes that Ty’s search for the killers could mean ratings for Ben’s podcast.\u00a0 He agrees to stick around and assist with the investigation.\u00a0 Ben begins interviewing people about Abby’s death… he’s a fish out of water, but the deeper he gets, the more he begins to believe Abby may have been murdered.\u00a0 If that’s the case, he could be next.<\/p>\n Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Ben is a New York City boy deep in the heart of Texas.\u00a0 He barely remembers the woman that he was supposed to marry. Kudos to B.J. Novak for coming up with an interesting plot with tons of comedic opportunities.\u00a0 The movie is well cast.\u00a0 I was surprised in a good way by Ashton Kutcher’s performance.<\/p>\n Vengeance<\/em> plays like a comedy and has plenty of laughs until it doesn’t.\u00a0 There’s an unexpected 180 near the end that just didn’t work for me.\u00a0 Your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n Vengeance <\/strong><\/em>earns 2 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n Vengeance (2022) Director:\u00a0 B.J.
