Peter Travers of ABC News applauded Novak’s efforts: “B.J. Novak, a seriously comic actor, writer, and upcoming director, takes aim at a disconnected America. While he doesn’t always hit the mark, when he does, this story of a New York liberal taking on Texas gun nuts comes to life with humor and dread.”

Despite the film’s flaws, Stephanie Zacharek of Time says it’s nonetheless entertaining: “Novak has so many things going on that he is unsure of how to tie them all together. However, he created a clever satire that is entertaining to see.”

Speaking of gaps, the main criticism of Vengeance seems to be that it leaves a lot of loose ends in the conclusion. Novak’s pseudo-mystery “would certainly be better if it centered on one of his concepts, as opposed to flinging anything he can think of at the wall and seeing what sticks,” as Collider’s Ross Bonaime notes.

“A chaotic, fitfully entertaining, occasionally fascinating attempt,” writes Matt Zoller Seitz for RogerEbert.com, “but one that shows promise even while stumbling over its ambition.”

Is a Trailer for Vengeance Available?

In the Vengeance trailer, Ben, played by Novak, says that he is in West Texas because a girl he had a brief relationship with has passed away. Although he didn’t think they were close, it appears that her family had different thoughts.

As far as trailers go, the Vengeance one perfectly captures the essence of the film’s plot without giving away too much. It also demonstrates Novak’s talent for taking Texas symbols like Whataburger or the nearly impossible task for an outsider to determine which Texas school to support and making comic gold out of it.
