‘The Last Temptation of Becky’ shifts the series into spy-action territory
The third Becky film stars Lulu Wilson as a young woman who fights Nazis.
In the earlier films, Becky battled neo-Nazis and far-right extremists, and the previous movie ended with her being recruited by the CIA.
Now the agency sends her to a secret bunker in Europe, where Nazi scientist Wilhelm Reuss, played by Neil Patrick Harris, is hiding with his family.
Reuss has a scheme to take over the world, and Becky’s cover is exposed soon after she arrives.
The film shifts the series from low-budget grindhouse action to the spy genre, and the review calls it entertaining but says its ambitions exceed its budget.
