The Wrath Of Becky (2023)

I enjoyed the first movie, thought it was solid fun.

Then I watched the sequel and was reminded why one should never trust a positive Rotten Tomatoes score without clicking through to every supposedly positive review first. It's 80 minutes before credits, and it takes at least half of that to get started, it's full of 'I bet you're wondering how I got here' shit, it's hugely unoriginal (the baddies steal her dog, there are at least two fake-out 'imagined sudden violent kills', etc) the action has turned into Home Alone, the villains are terribly written, and for some bizarre reason instead of using the far-right macguffin left dangling from the first movie to kickstart this one they just have her stumble into a different far-right conspiracy through pure coincidence and utter idiocy on their part. 

Rating: Terrible.
