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.

This is a home invasion movie with a twist. It's like Home Alone on crack. It's brutal and bloody and I really enjoyed it.

This is absolutely brilliant. Engaging constantly. Never a dull moment. Love the girl playing Becky. Love her character even more. Without giving too much away look out for the eyeball and boat scenes. Fantastic. Over all don't mess with Becky.

Not sure why the average rating is only a 5.9....if you like a bloody mess, this is the movie for you. The girl that wreaks havoc on everyone is a psycho. Kevin James plays a villain in his first real serious roll and nails it. Yes, this movie has some flaws and questionable moments. But if you just shut your mind off and enjoy the blood bath for what it is, you will have a good time. This movie could end up having a cult following for sure.

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.
