Vengeance

Vengeance (2022) is a darkly comic mystery you can watch online on iFILM. New York podcaster Ben gets a 3 a.m. call: a woman he'd been casually seeing is dead, and her family is convinced she was murdered.

He flies down to West Texas expecting a quick funeral and instead finds the perfect true-crime podcast — so he stays to investigate, recording everything as he goes. The longer he spends among people he first wrote off as caricatures, the more his coastal smugness starts to crack. B.J. Novak stars, and the film marks his debut as both writer and director. Ashton Kutcher turns up in a surprisingly thoughtful role as a local music producer. It's a sharp satire on the gulf between media-savvy coastal America and flyover country, where the laughs curdle into something sadder. Stream Vengeance (2022) online on iFILM.
