Becky

A home invasion movie with a twist that keeps escalating. Lulu Wilson plays a troubled teen who gradually embrasses her inner psychopath. I felt Kevin James (Dominic) was clearly miscast as the villian; the brains behind a prison escape with his gang of, well, idiots.So Dominic and his gang invade the home of Jeff and Kayla, their daughter Becky and young son, Ty, in attempt to find a key. Long story short, it doesn't go well for the bad guys and wait! What does the key open?

This Sure Was Like An Opposite From A Comedy Home Alone🏠Kid Taking Control Smartness With Traps🪤In A Enjoyable Then I Expected Horror😀😀😀I’m Already Excited For This Summer’s Sequel To Be Released For Such A Just Amazing Almost 18 Year Old Little Cute Lulu Wilson After Only Almost 15 Years Old In This First One😍

Kevin. James. Needs. A. Good. Script. This man can act. Watch some of the bits he has on his Youtube channel, it's the best stuff he's ever done and shows off his acting chops. This guy really is an actor in need of a good non-comedy script.After discovering James' youtube channel and seeing him do a bit opposite Javier Bardem from the film No Country For Old Men (spoiler alert: via greenscreen), I was thinking, "wow this guy needs a good non comedy role".Then I see "Becky", where James is playing a non-comedy role. I spent the few dollars and a rental and was...disappointed.This film is trying to be "Home Alone" (1990, Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci), "Leon: The Professional" (1994, Natalie Portman, Jean Reno) and "Hanna" (2011, Saoirse Ronan). However, it doesn't quite get any of it right.The creative, dangerous kid isn't the funny that Culkin's character was. She's not the level headed killer that Portman's character was. She's not the well trained junior assassin caught in a coming-of-age moment that Ronan's character is. Lulu Wilson does a great job with what she's given and has great presence, but she simply isn't given very much.Further, Kevin James's character is such a wasted opportunity. It's not even a swing and a miss. It's a bunt attempt and a miss. The screenwriter and director took an approach showing that they weren't sure if they wanted a lighter film or a darker film. It's a serious, dramatic film about a girl murdering adults. That definitely screams for the latter.Instead of James' and Wilson's characters locked in a battle of wits, will, and depravity, we end up with James' character being more like a parody of Pesci's Home Alone character. He looks like a baaad dude, but he doesn't walk the walk. After seeing James youtube channel and knowing that Kevin James CAN walk the walk, the writer and director really did James', Wilson, AND the audience a disservice by not allowing James' to really portray a competent, intelligent, AND bad villain.If you want to see a movie that's mildly interesting, albeit needlessly gory (needlessly since they didn't really go dark with it) with a good performance by a charismatic Lulu Wilson up against a group of incompetent villains, but without any of the humor or creativity of the original Home Alone, then this might be a good film for you.For me, I would have rather re-watched any of the three films that I mention this one is pulling things from. I'm still hopeful Kevin James will find a script that shows off his non-comedic acting chops as well as his youtube shorts. 2.5 stars. Minus 1 star each for the writer and director (minus 0.5 star for producer) who failed to suss out this halfway, off-dark, not quite comedy, not quite drama, not quite thriller that lets down the actors and the audience.

Kevin james sucks as per usual.. BUT thankx to the other real actors

This was a very violent take on the home invasion films. The story is about criminals escaping and taking over a retreat house in the woods and terrorizing the family there. But this time, the girl Becky, hits back harder when all is lost. It's a solid story. Not ground breaking, but well acted and filmed. It has the feel of a bigger budget film and probably would have made main stream theaters if not for COVID-19.Lulu definitely has stardom in her future. Her character Becky was so well defined, you felt the teen anxiety, the unequal rage of vengence, and even the sly wit when she chews on her gummy worms. You could even argue that Becky was more villianous than Kevin James character Dominique. She is not satisfied with a simple kill. The one thing I wish was that she was more McGuyer-ish. She displayed alittle when using the fishing line. It was give more buy in to being able to dispatch a group of criminals.Lulu has carved a space for herself in the horror genre, ,hopefully, she will rise and become a take the mantle since for horror fans, we seem stuck in the 80's and early 90s for our icons.Kevin James as a neo nazi criminal is a very welcomed change of pace from the character we are used to seeing him. Maybe years from now if James continues to do more hard hitting roles, this will be the key film. Like if you were born after 1990, you probably didn't even know Tom Hanks did comedy. James could bee in that same realm. In fact, I wanted even more of James. He looked very menacing at the prison yard and on the transfer bus. But at the house, he actually seemed to have gotten softer. Wanted foot on the pedal rage from him to match Becky.If you are a fan or in the mood for films like Last House on the Left, give this one a watch. You are seeing 2 converging forces on screen that will rocket these to leads into stardum (Lulu) and character type (James).Watch out for those sharp pencils!

That rocked. I will forward to more from Lulu Wison. That was so much fun I will watch it again. I love revenge ficks and this was great. 18 Apr 2023, I just watched it again..Puts a smile on my face. If we could have real such youth in the future to deal with the pedophilic global elite they will bring back the stake and put heads on them.

Becky is a 13-year-old girl who has been mourning her mother for a year when her dad hauls her off to their summer place to try and patch things up.Meanwhile, a bunch a very gnarly white dudes with lots of muscles and tats, are escaping from prison and heading for ... the same place, to recover a key (yes, an actually, physical key, the sort that might open a very old lock).But the key isn't there, because Becky has it.When the baddies kill a dog and torture her dad, she puts on her war paint and kills /each and every one/ of the bad guys. One after the other. Not immediately -- there's lots of argument, preparation, and so on in between. Not to mention blood and gore.So, if you like films about psychotic 13-year-old girls, this film is for you.

This is a great movie! If you like scary movies, this is perfect!
