Becky is a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse that leaves you unsure if the good guy is really that good at all. It’s funny at parts, shocking in parts, but mostly it’s just a great thriller that just so happens to have a 13-year-old girl as the heroine. Read full review

Besides its emotional texture, which will take you by surprise, more importantly, at the end of the day, Becky is a lot of enjoyably perverse fun. Read full review

Don’t confuse Becky for a smart movie. It won’t teach audiences anything valuable, or even new, about the disease of white supremacist ideology. It won’t leave folks holding hands in solidarity against racism and prejudice at a time when solidarity is like oxygen. It will, however, provide a brief burst of catharsis through the brutal slaughter of white supremacist ideologues, for whatever that catharsis is worth. Read full review

Becky tends to work best when it revels in the blood-splattered set pieces of its script (written by Ruckus Skye, Lane Skye and Nick Morris), going that extra mile and a half in the gore department (special effects makeup was by Karlee Morse) to create some truly disgusting moments, albeit ones that are laced with a grim sense of humor.

At 90 minutes, Becky should be a taut, hair-raising thriller, one that keeps you at the edge of your seat. It doesn’t. Instead, the thing ebbs and flows, peaking when you expect it to, and sinking when your heart’s just beginning to race. Read full review

For all its wide-eyed embrace of murder and mayhem, the film feels rote as it goes about its bloody business. Read full review

This ultra-violent, ultra-stupid smarm-bomb deserves to take a few lumps before shuffling off to the digital boneyard. Read full review

I don´t understand, why this great action movie deserves so many shallow criticism. It´s a fiction, not the reality. It´s Hollywood and not the Discovery Channel. True : Its quite hard, when you consider a 14 year old has to go through all this actually traumatizing things. But the story isI don´t understand, why this great action movie deserves so many shallow criticism. It´s a fiction, not the reality. It´s Hollywood and not the Discovery Channel. True : Its quite hard, when you consider a 14 year old has to go through all this actually traumatizing things. But the story is set from the very start, there is no doubt about the willingness of the audience to join this rollercoaster of violence a.s.a.p. and its absolutetly stunning how the crew and the actors find their way through this fascinating plot-jungle. Lulu Wilson is already a huge star and hopefully lasting for some decades to come, this is well done executed Die Hard - Action 2020 - at it´s very best. In a long time I haven`t seen such a brilliant executed movie, it reminded me more on Léon and the amazing performance of Natalie Portman. Action fan, this is your sweaty hands movie of 2020. By the way : Lulu Wilson being so young (15) still played already in movies I didn´t even know that she took part in and it is the crème de la crème of horror and suspense.… Expand

Becky is a cross between 'Home Alone' and 'Last House on the Left' as a precocious tween takes on a group of neo-nazi home invaders. Great cast and okay storyline that pretty much goes where it goes.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2020 thriller movie. From the very first scene, the movie tells how the whole movie will be and how it will end. I think it would have been more impressive without the first scene.

Father and daughter are going to their house in the forest. Meanwhile, 4 notorious and ruthless thugs escape from the prison vehicle and come to their house. What the bandits want is in their houses. But only the little girl knows that.

Although there are many illogical scenes, the movie is watched with interest. But something is missing. I think this is innocence. For this reason, the audience cannot be with Becky completely.

Why is the little girl so angry with her father?

What is the story of the key that is so sought after throughout the movie?

Why do men leave the key in a house for others to find?

There is no sex or nudity in the movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another in what is now a seemingly endless stream of "girls rule, boys/men/white skinhead men drool" as #MeToo exacts its revenge for a century of man misbehavior, both in the cinema and outside of it. The trouble is, this C-grade revenge flick is a pale imitation of much better films with the same idea, to wit "Kick-Ass" (or for that matter Kick-Ass 2 even), or "Hanna." If you need to see young teen girls kicking grown men's asses, those should be your go-to's. Lulu Wilson, who seems to have some talent, is saddled with a one-note character who is just angry all the time in this film. Kevin James' stunt casting is okay physically, but his light voice removes alot of the menace. Giant wrestler Robert Maillotte is an interesting physical presence, but everyone else in the film is bland as all get-out. The African American child actor never even moves off the couch or utters a word in the entire film. He may as well not even be there. So while Hollywood may be fixing its girl problem, it has a ways to go it would seem toward fixing its race problem.… Expand

Yetanother

Jul 13, 2020

With protagonist so unlikable that you begin to root for the poor men she tortures. Yet another movie that exist simply to challenge good story telling tropes and succeeds by telling a very poor story. You'll likely find your intrest--like the faulty audio-- cuts out halfway through the movie.
