Alien at the Movies

The Wrath of Becky

This is the sequel to the 2020 film “Becky”. This takes place 2 years after the violent attack on Becky’s family, 3 foster homes escapes later, & the living off the grid. The now 16-years-old Becky (Lulu Wilson) is attempting to rebuild her life in the care of an older woman guardian, Elena. However, while working as a diner waitress, she has a run in with 3 rednecks from an extremist group. They follow her home, attack Becky & Elena, & steal her dog, Diego. It’s shades of mini John Wick as this incites & rekindles that violent streak in young Becky as she goes Rambo on these bad guys. This is an over-the-top action thriller with a dark sense of humor & a teen slasher vibe. Becky uncovers the group’s insurrection plans & steals their thumb drive. This is more guilty pleasure entertainment than realistic drama. Does the final clip hint towards Becky’s next high adventure or is it just a funny final punctuation? 

Alien gives it 2½ “Noble Men” stars out of 4.
