Becky

Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion 'Becky' plays like a murderous 'Home Alone.' It moves along at a cracking pace and, clocking in at just over 90 minutes, does not outstay its welcome or make your brain question the lack of character development and substantive explanations too closely. The death scenes are creative, very gruesome, and don't shy away from over-the-top results. Lulu Wilson is frighteningly delightful, but Kevin James' performance, which marks his first experiment as a performer, is remarkable.

I think almost everyone enjoys to see a comedian break away from the laughs and turn serious for a role, or in this case even villainous. Kevin James executes this extremely played out and cliche Aryan brotherhood/supremacist/convict character as well as he could've with what barren script he was given.

Everything starts out with some solid character development with the young Lulu Wilson with her struggles and current emotional situation. As things progress we fly ahead into the start of the action and are introduced to the ever cliche written group of villains with intensity and mystery. At this point it appears as though they will explain a certain plot device in which the antagonists are after, but they fail to do so. Then things start getting gruesome and very fast paced and you still wonder what they are truly after. Towards the final act just when you think they'll explain what the point of all this was, we are once again left hanging without any true explanation of their intentions with the main object they were after rendering the whole story nearly useless other than for extreme brutality and revenge empowerment.

As I mentioned the film has some decently entertaining performances by James and Wilson, and some solid production value, but there is almost no story here. If they would've simply given an explanation to the motives of these convicts and wrapped up some loose ends, it could've been slightly better. Instead it just feels like a hollow and cliche revenge thriller.

I actually really liked this one, I also don't get why people aren't liking this one, guess they don't like fun movies

Entertaining movie that does not require any deep thought to figure out whats going on, i enjoyed it. They really should have called it Badass Becky...

At almost 7 feet tall, grizzled bad guy Robert Maillet is the least scariest person in this film. They gave him a heart and even some dialog to boot. I've seen him in a million things and I'm glad he finally got a part with a little meat to it.

Kevin James is the bad guy here, and he surprisingly pulls it off. I will never look at him the same again.

It's not going to win any awards, but I liked it.
