After so many lightly comedic indie-dramas about dysfunctional families, you tend to tire of the formula and can see the resolution coming from miles away.
Fortunately The Vicious Kind came as a very pleasant surprise.
Adam Scott plays a complete jerk with some serious issues who believes all women are whores and thinks everyone around him should be just as miserable as he is. Oddly enough as the film progresses and we learn more about him, our sympathy for him grows. It doesn't really introduce anything new to the genre but manages to stay one step ahead of the viewer and is filled with wonderful performances to boot. All in all, a great evening in.
