John Wick meets Home Alone is the best way I can think of describing it. When I first saw the trailer I wanted to watch the film to see Kevin James in a dramatic/dark performance. He gives a good performance but Becky (LuLu Wilson) steals the show for sure. Not going to win any awards but entertaining and worth the watch.

gensbill9 March 2021At 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. -
heidibokor4 June 2021Not 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.

stevenrobertson-9789918 February 2021This 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.

mats_astroem24 February 2021This movie surprised me a lot. Lulu, Robert and Kevin were awesome in it.
I was surprised to see Kevin in this role but he executed it perfectly.
The story is good. There are some holes that should have been filled. It concerns the main object of the movie. But even with that missing it's a great movie. It's raw and really well done.
The music is really good. How the movie was shot was also very good. The cutting is superb. It's a 7/10 mainly because I wanted to know more about the main object of the movie. Otherwise it would have been a solid 8 perhaps a 9.
As I said. The story and the cast surprised me a lot. There wasn't much I was missing. It was action from the gecko basically.
See it! -
Sir_AmirSyarif18 March 2021Jonathan 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.

ts-000013 March 2021Kevin is more in goofball type things,why felt it wouldn't be watchable. That said.. Decent cast,acting,cinematography & more! Was bothersome to see,a family pet being killed. There is other violence,so not a kid-friendly movie. But agree with others it's like John Wick & Home Alone combined. Becky the daughter,really steals this movie.. She was great! Worth checking out!

justis-297575 June 2020I actually really liked this one, I also don't get why people aren't liking this one, guess they don't like fun movies

fleshmaidn1 July 2020I was very excited to see this movie because of Kevin James being the villain, but it was so boring, unrealistic, and didn't make sense at all, the actress is so annoying and unlikable, her acting sucks, and so many plot holes, and I just wanted it to end, so disappointed. Please don't waste your time.

tresm876 June 2020I 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. -
There's no amount of suspension of disbelief that can overcome how ridiculous this movie is. It was mildly interesting seeing Kevin James play a bad guy but that didn't last long. I wonder if he lost a bet and had to be in this turkey.

raymond784 August 2020It definitely has a R rated Home Alone feel to it. Surprisingly very good action movie with comedic lead roles.
The issue I have is the big deal about the Key? What the hell is the key for? -
treeguy71022 April 2021It's definitely a fun watch. I gave it a 6.5 outta 10.

danielcereto12 June 2020It is a shame the movie is so unbelievable because it has potential. Gory scenes are pretty well filmed but what ruins the movie is the weak script, performances and unbelievable decisions from the characters. Savages can't kill kids? OK. I don't buy it. Extremely unbelievable a strong man about 6'5 can't kill a 13 years old kid face to face. And people voting 10's.
-
amskray22 June 2020Sure, the sullen, bratty Becky is easy to hate at the beginning of the movie--but who didn't like watching growling Becky exacting gory justice! Watch it just to rewind the killing scenes! And of course, its sequel-ready!
-
pietclausen6 June 2020There are many films made along the same theme, but this one entertains. Becky has a bad attitude and is a resentful thirteen year old adolescent girl. These habits become her assets in an hour of need when she stubbornly becomes very resourceful and solves various problems that are put in her way.
An enjoyable, thrilling movie to watch! -
baunacholi-861594 September 2023I really like the tag line. It explains pretty well what to expect in this unusual, dark, unsettling and original version of a home invasion story. Forget the majority of linear and predictable story telling and embark on this twisted trip called Becky. Our lead is fueled with anger and quite creative and determined in taking revenge to all who did her or her familie wrong. This said, the movie manages besides extreme and brutal scenes to evoke something like Sympathie for this, quote on quote, little devil. Even a pitch black humorous aspect is given rounded up with quite some tension and suspense.

Gorillaboi8 June 2020It's a violent version of Home Alone - but not as believable.
A very unlikeable 12 year old girl suddenly turns into an assassin that outsmarts and brutally takes out 4 grown men. The movie can't decide whether it wants to be gritty, or ridiculously / hilariously unrealistic.
The chemistry between the characters is terrible. The girl, as mentioned, is too unlikeable to root or care for. The plot is not the most exciting. And the motives of the villains centre around a mysterious key - in which its purpose is never even revealed.
So as far as the view is left concerned, a whole bunch of violence and death occurs for absolutely nothing. -
combatph13 March 2021Kevin James as a bad guy...a young girl doing the home alone thing with Rambo type skills. It was just a good enjoyable film.
-
seanboyps6 June 2020I've never left a review on here before but I feel entitled to leave one now. This movie was a waste of 90 minutes. Makes zero sense in any way and a completely unsatisfying ending. Casting Kevin James and Joel McHale is a complete waste.Watch if you really want to see action but other than that I simply can't reccomend this. A very poorly done film.

OzoneParkSteve12 September 2020Entertaining 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...

Samualt6 June 2020I loved this movie! It wasn't meant to be an A list mega release. It is just a fun, fast paced, sometimes bloody, B thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. I very much liked Kevin James as the heavy. He played this role so good. And Lulu Wilson as the protagonist couldn't have been cast better. In fact, all the actors did a great job and were very believable. So, the downside is that the writers should have made all the action/story a little more believable. With just a little more thought this could have been a cult classic (Think: Last House On The Left). But instead it comes off as a pretty childish writing job. Still, if your looking for something fun this summer in a sea of mediocrity then try this little B thriller. You'll be glad you did.

jayboogie10015 June 2020This movie should be called 'Bambo'. A teenage girl that weighs about 90 pounds turns vigilante on a few 200 pound dudes, making their lives pure hell. Not only does she do a Jackie Chan kick off of a tree house swing, she has Terminator like wit by using original one liners. It was painful to watch Kevin James perform in over an hour of this type of tomfoolery. Leprechaun in the Hood was better than this film. This film gave me hope that my next book can become an Academy Award winning film. So it wasn't all bad, I'm just playing, actually it was pretty horrible! The marshmallow and fire seen at the end was epic!

arearider8 March 2021It's about time Kevin James played a dark role, also nice to see Joel McHale not always smiling
