I'm an old baby boomer, and have always been a little embarrassed that my generation's classic films were all about us, us, us, and made us the celebrated heroes of our own stories. (Exhibit A: Animal House.) I'm delighted that the up-and coming generations are much more open to questioning their own approaches and values, as well as those around them. (Exhibit B: Vengance.)
Vengence is extremely well written. I tried to remember some of the lines to share on IMDb, but I saw it in a theater, couldn't take notes, and unfortunately my memory isn't that good. It's a comedy, but with multiple dramatic twists. And it builds to an amazing conclusion.
Ashton Kutcher's role is a relatively small one, but I wouldn't call it a cameo. Like Jackie Gleason's role in The Hustler, it's actually central to the entire film, even though the character is only on screen for a few minutes. The rest of the film is very well cast.
Loved this film, and I'm looking forward to B. J. Novak's next one.
