• "I don't live in a Liam Neeson movie" is just an example of the many jokes with twists in the world of B. J. Novak. "Vengeance" is his latest foray into dark comedy, using a backdrop of mystery and satire to offer us up some social commentary, 100%! We get very funny moments, mostly from the interactions among the family members. It is so refreshing to see J. Smith-Cameron play a role far removed from her CEO highness in "Succession." The sisters are a hoot, played by relative unknowns Dove Cameron and Isabella Amara who I hope will get more exposure after this movie. And Issa Rae delivers competently as always; she is funny while exuding confidence and elegance. B. J. Novak nails some witty writing and directing once again. He has interesting insights to share on the dystopian state of our world today. Unfortunately it becomes a bit preachy in one part of the movie, exhibiting his political leanings thereby potentially alienating some viewers.
