Bang Bang Betty: Valerie's Revenge

Bang Bang Betty: Valerie's Revenge is a crowd-pleasing action film that sweetly rests on the shoulders of lead, Emily Rose Hernandez. The film tells the story of Valerie's journey to seek revenge in the wake of her lover's murder by the diabolical cartel leader, Sanchez (Hector Soria).

The film features a diverse, ensemble cast bringing solid performances. Standouts for me included Gerald Parrish as Ray, and probably my new favorite henchwoman: Mariah Padilla as Luna.

Overall, the film is a thrilling watch for action/crime moviegoers that isn't afraid of a little girl on girl action or topical editorializing around fentanyl use. Co-writer/Director Alexander T. Hwang delivers so much Bang Bang for the budget, you can't help but enjoy the ride.

As a low budget film it's important to take limitation into consideration. Like it's predecessor it features great cinematography and great locations, really stepping things up for the big finale of the film. Compared to the last entry, the film manages to utilize more charismatic leads and steps up the action with practical explosion and impressive stunts. However, the film's editing is very loose, with lots of dead air and awkward pauses.

Now what we see here with my title is the top review which I do not know how it is the top review. I am always unbiased but when trolls try to ruin good things for others, it is incredibly aggravating. This is a great film, do not take what that account says serious and ignore it. He rarely rates movies 1 stars so this something. He's given way worse films higher ratings

It is very apparent that our top reviewer is unaware that this masterpiece of a film is a sequel or else his comment would make sense.

And no, the acting is not a joke.

"This is a miss-at-all-cost type of cinema.". Please ignore this.

I really enjoyed this movie. From the gunplay, to the mano-a-mano fight scenes, to the at times over-the-top dramatics, it's clear the filmmakers had fun telling this story. Valerie is determined to bring down a major drug kingpin who is peddling laced contraband. Assisting her is a team of ex-Feds and DEA cohorts. The story takes us through the deserts and dark corners of the south. Actress Emily Rose Hernandez really owns the lead character. The movie celebrates crime drama in the mold of Tarrantino and Sergio Leone. The finale features a great Western town set with full complement of extras and all the gunplay you could ever wish for. Great movie to watch with friends - highly recommend!
