Vengeance

 

                                     To all fans of the Office, Ryan Howard has made his directorial debut. also known as B.J. Novak, has finally come out of the shadows of Steve Carrell, Brad Pitt, John Krasinski, and Quentin Tarantino furthermore has officially made a movie for himself. And to make a crime drama/comedy are always a dime of dozen when it comes to making your big leap into the director’s chair. Vengeance is basic Black Comedy with a spin of both a detective story and in all out revenge but trying to make big story turned into a podcast phenomenon. As always stars B.J. Novak, Boyd Holbrook who is in a lot of things some are basic crime stories, and Ashton Kutcher who plays the unlikely character I've never in a million years would have thought he'd pulled off in the best way possible.

                                     An up-and-coming Podcaster/Journalist (B.J. Novak) goes to a funeral in Texas to mourn a loss of a woman he only had a one-night stand. But is suddenly pulled into this revenge quest of evidence that has no lead, though doesn't stop him from making this no lead story into a Podcast sensation.

                                     For a lot of people who don't know who, B.J. Novak is, though technically for Office fans, he's Ryan Howard, though he also was one of the original writers of the show that both writes and is one of the main cast of characters on the show, he stared in some supporting roles like Inglorious Bastards, Saving Mr. Banks and The Founder. When watching the trailer for the first time my first thoughts were aw cool, he's finally going into the spotlight then my second thought was of course this movie was intriguing because I love the fact that it's a New York Journalist whose kind of on the Blue Statesman and he travels to the Red State of Texas to investigate a murder that's in obvious open and shut case, but suddenly becomes more than what you can possible believe. And Novak does a fantastic job doing the research on the state of Texas and its people, but most importantly doing a great job in turning this into a original detective story as well. I've never really, well ever in my years of criticizing pop culture along with movies and TV shows have I ever given any compliments to the success of Ashton Kutcher because let’s face it Punk'd was an entertaining show for when I was still a teenager, and all his movies are just pure crap, so bottom line what I'm trying to say is that he's only remembered for was Kelso in That 70's Show. But this is probably the first time ever I watch in on TV and say that he does a great job playing a mysterious fellow that has some skeletons in his closest, and this is me completely forgetting that he was in the trailer. Without giving any details this is a movie worth seeing from start to finish, the movie does have a great sense of humor as well as the family of the movie being relatable as towards your real-life family in general. B.J. Novak does in excellent job in his directorial debut as well as the writer and star of the movie, and I hope he does more movies in futures to come.
