How is it possible that the Becky franchise quietly snuck a trilogy up on us? It seems like it was only yesterday that Lulu Wilson ‘s Becky Hooper faced off against Kevin James‘ neo-Nazi Dominick Lewis in the first movie, Becky (2020), and now she’s a CIA agent and still battling against Hitler’s followers in The Last Temptation of Becky. Much like the John Wick series, this action franchise continues to evolve into something far removed from its first installment. The schlocky gore and over-the-top violence remain, but The Last Temptation of Becky is more self-aware. There’s a tongue-in-cheek quality here, with everybody being in on how ridiculous the concept of a teenage girl turning into a stone-cold killer out of nowhere is. And trust me, this film breaks new ground of ridiculousness in the series, with a final act that could possibly be the most fitting send-off if this is truly the end for Becky’s quest for revenge. So, where do we find ourselves in the story?

Your friend is forty minutes late. Can the restaurant give away their chair?

A busy restaurant seats your group only after everyone arrives. One friend is forty minutes late and keeps texting that they are almost there. A couple waiting nearby could use the empty place, and the server asks your group to order without them.

How long should one person's delay control everyone else's evening?
