A hugely underrated mystery thriller movie is on TV tonight

One of the main cast members of The Office wrote, directed and starred in the film.

Novak stars in the movie as well, playing the lead character of Ben, a New York-based journalist and podcaster. He travels to Texas to attend the funeral of Abby, a woman with whom he had a casual romantic fling.

While there, Abby's brother, Ty (Boyd Holbrook, A Complete Unknown), tells Ben that he suspects his sister - who everyone believes died of a drug overdose - was murdered.

Though Ben is doubtful, he agrees to help Ty find out the truth of what happened. The journalist believes the quest would make for an interesting podcast about grief and denial.

As the pair investigate, however, Ben starts to suspect Ty's suspicions may be correct.

Watch the trailer for Vengeance right here:

We'd argue the mystery thriller is definitely worth seeking out for its ingenious premise, its darkly sharp comedy, as well as its deeper themes about division in America and the morality of making true crime shows.

Garnering an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes, Vengeance is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning on Film4 at 1.05am.

If that is too late for you, the movie is also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Prime Video, Rakuten TV, and the Sky Store.
