Story Line;
Two years after she escaped a violent attack on her family, Becky attempts to rebuild her life in the care of an older woman - a kindred spirit named Elena. But, when a group known as the "Noble Men" break into their home, attack them, and take her beloved dog, Diego, Becky must return to her old ways to protect herself and her loved ones
Thoughts:
There's a movie named Becky that does come before this but we didn't find that out until after we watched this one. It doesn't affect how this movie is, it's just basically a sequel that can be stand alone
This was a fun movie to watch, especially with Seann William Scott!
It reminded me of the money Kick-Ass
CAUTION; Spoiler Alert
Three
years after the harrowing ordeal with four Neo-Nazis that killed her
father, 16-year-old Becky continues living life off the grid while
escaping from successive foster homes and honing her survival skills.
Picked up while hitchhiking, Becky and her dog Diego eventually
settle in with a matronly woman named Elena, who treats Becky like a
responsible daughter and does not pry about her past.
Anthony,
DJ, and Sean, three members of an extremist group called the Noble
Men, stop at the diner where Becky works as a waitress. Angered by
their insulting misogyny, Becky purposefully dumps a hot cup of
coffee in Anthony's lap, so the three men secretly follow Becky home.
Despite claiming he only wanted to scare the girl, Anthony ends up
shooting Elena in her head, knocking Becky unconscious, and
kidnapping Diego upon breaking into the house. After Becky recovers,
she vows to find her dog and take revenge on the men.
Remembering
that the men previously mentioned meeting with someone named Darryl,
Becky finds two local addresses linked to that name. The first
location leads Becky to an elderly woman identified as Darryl Sr. The
second leads Becky to a remote cabin where Noble Men cell leader
Darryl hosts a meeting with Anthony, DJ, Sean, and another militia
member known as Twig. Becky sneaks into the cabin and finds evidence
that a town hall protest planned for the next day will actually be an
armed insurrection against Senator Hernandez. Becky also steals a
secret thumb drive containing membership information on everyone
associated with the Noble Men.
Becky leaves a cellphone on
Darryl's doorstep that she uses to taunt the men. Becky's arrival
forces Anthony, DJ, and Sean to confess to kidnapping her dog, but
they do not say anything to Darryl about having murdered
Elena.
Darryl makes Anthony go after Becky. Becky leads
Anthony into a hidden pit in the forest. She then rigs Anthony with a
grenade trap that blows up his head when Darryl reopens the front
door. After Darryl turns his gun on them to demand the truth about
Becky, DJ and Sean reveal Elena's murder. Realizing the rally will
actually be a violent insurrection, Sean has a change of heart and
tries abandoning the group, but Darryl breaks his neck. Fearful of
both Becky and Darryl, DJ drives away.
Becky calls Darryl to
continue taunting him. Becky threatens to expose the plot against
Senator Hernandez and also reveals that she stole Darryl's
incriminating thumb drive. Twig goes outside looking for Becky. Becky
fires a crossbow bolt through Twig's cheeks. Their protracted faceoff
ultimately ends with Becky using a machete to hack Twig to death.
However, Darryl uses a tranquilizer dart to take Becky
captive.
Becky wakes to find herself tied to a chair. Darryl
shows Becky that he stole her keepsake key, and that a hidden shaft
inside the key's cylinder contains engraved numbers he presumes to be
coordinates. Revealing herself to be Darryl's mother as well as the
secret mastermind behind the Noble Men, the elderly woman Becky
previously met as Darryl Sr. arrives at the cabin. Darryl Sr. uses
Becky's dog to taunt Becky while demanding to know where the thumb
drive is.
Becky breaks free from her restraints. Darryl leaves
the room to recover after Becky sprays him with mace. Darryl Sr.
moves to shoot Diego, but Becky throws a knife into her forehead.
Darryl Jr. chases Becky into the forest outside. Becky leads Darryl
into animal traps that pin his legs and clamp around his throat,
killing him. Becky retrieves her key. Becky returns to the cabin for
Diego and discovers that Darryl Sr. survived. Darryl Sr. tries to
shoot Becky, but is unable to aim properly due to her head injury.
Becky has Diego maul Darryl Sr. to death.
24 hours later, CIA
agent Kate Montana interviews Becky about the thumb drive and
singlehandedly taking down a Noble Men cell. Agent Montana offers to
recruit Becky and Becky agrees. Montana then asks if Becky is ready
to find out what her key belongs to.
DJ tries to get back on
the road after his truck breaks down. Dressed in a black suit, Becky
drives up to the scene in an official law enforcement vehicle. She
then blows up DJ and his truck with a rocket launcher
