Becky (2020 Movie)

Category: Dramatic House Siege Thriller

-----

Kevin James as a neo-nazi? And is that Kurrgan? The surprises don't stop in the drama/thriller titled Becky.

Kevin James must have had a chat to his agent and said "Mate, I just can't seem to undo the stain of Paul Blaart: Mall Cop and Paul Blaart: Mall Cop 2" to which his agent replied "Oh, Kevin, baby, do I have just the role for you!" - so in Becky, James breaks the mold to portray the dramatic lead in this story of a group of neo-Nazi prison escapees who besiege a house looking for a particularly valuable item stored inside, unbeknownst to the current occupants. And stopping them from completing their plot is the wily and angsty teenage girl Becky, who runs a lethal counter-attack operation…from her cubby house.

If you're thinking this is Home Alone on steroids, you wouldn't be too far off the mark - though don't let that detract. This isn't a great movie, but it's also not too bad and is a slightly gory way to waste 90 minutes. Kevin James has shown he is capable of playing loveable characters…and now he can play quite unlovable ones as well.

And if you're a fan of Attitude Era-WWE, you will recognise Robert Maillet who was for a period was known as Kurrgan.


STAR RATING3.25/5 stars.
