Netflix fans rave over gore-filled revenge thriller with 'the female John Wick' - insisting 'they could make 100 more and I'd watch every one!'
Netflix fans have raved over a gore-filled revenge thriller with 'the female John Wick ' and insisted 'they could make 100 more and I'd watch every one!' The Wrath Of Becky premiered in 2023 and has recently been added to the streaming platform. Packed full of action and blood, the highly acclaimed film stars Lulu Wilson as the titular lead character, a teenage girl. Becky moved in with a new caregiver, Elena, and finds herself seeking revenge after a trio of extremists cause her hassle and steal her pet dog. The film follows on from a 2020 prequel, called Becky, which saw the young girl lose her father after a group of Neo-Nazi convicts attacked their family's lake house. Fans have enjoyed the film over the years and many have left their verdicts online. One viewer penned on Letterboxd: 'I could watch Lulu Wilson play Becky in 10 more sequels.' Another said: 'She's basically the female version of a teenage John Wick.' While someone else reportedly penned: 'They could make 100 films about Becky slaying Proud Boys and Neo Nazis and I would watch every single one of them.' 'Solid revenge thriller with some lovely kills and a little twist of humour,' another added. One fan said: 'Omg I was on the edge of my SEAT the entire time this was so intense but also somehow comedic HOW do you do that at the same time?? Pls watch this SEQUEL NOW SEQUEL NOW.' 'Did not realise this was a sequel but still enjoyed watching it nonetheless. A good action film that gets straight to the point,' someone else penned. However, not everyone has enjoyed the film and one said: 'It's a no from me.' It comes as Netflix fans are captivated by another thriller 'full of twists and turns', gushing about how 'it kept them guessing until the very end' and binge-watching every episode in one sitting. Love Rat, first released to Channel 5 in March last year, follows Emma (Coronation Street 's Sally Lindsay), a woman at a crossroads in later life. Fans have enjoyed the film over the years and many have left their verdicts online with some taking to Letterboxd However, not everyone has enjoyed the film and one said: 'It's a no from me.' Just divorced from husband Pete (Men Behaving Badly's Neil Morrissey) and estranged from her daughter, she grows tired of mundane everyday life. In search of escape, she travels to Cyprus on holiday where she quickly embarks on a whirlwind romance with handsome, rich hotel owner Niko (Gerald Kyd) - but not all is as it seems. Emma suddenly finds herself scammed out of her life savings - and enlists her ex to help get them back. Fans have taken to film review and catalogue site IMDb to admire the four-part series, initially seemingly some fun in the sun, which turns into a psychological thriller. The Wrath Of Becky is available to stream on Netflix.

'It lacked any sort of sell': Did Ballerina's title spell box-office disaster?
Action blockbuster From the World of John Wick: Ballerina has been one of the summer's big flops so far – and its muddled title could be to blame. Last week saw the release of From the World of John Wick: Ballerina – a spin-off of the Keanu Reeves gun-fu series – but you'd be forgiven for not noticing. The film had an underwhelming opening weekend at the US box office, making just $24m (£17.8m). That amount has since climbed to $41.8m (£31m), but it's still a disappointing figure for the film's studio, Lionsgate, considering the $90m (£66.8m) budget. Several factors may have been responsible. From the World of John Wick: Ballerina is a vehicle for Ana de Armas, and female-centred action films are a difficult sell. The release was pushed back to make time for reshoots: if it had come out closer to de Armas' explosive turn in the 2021 Bond film No Time To Die, as initially planned, cinema-goers might have been more intrigued. Additionally, last year's John Wick television spin-off, The Continental, lasted just three episodes before being cancelled – a sign of potential franchise fatigue, or that it's Reeves' central character that fans love in these films rather than the world he occupies. But there's another factor that can't be ignored: the title. "Ballerina doesn't scream action film," wrote film-industry news site Deadline in their analysis. "If you want to make a ton of money, maybe don't call your hardcore action movie Ballerina," echoed film commentator Mark Harris. Fans on Reddit have come to a similar conclusion: "Would your average moviegoer unplugged from the [media] hype know it's full of kick-ass fight scenes, from that word on a poster, on a cinema marquee?" asked one commenter, to plenty of upvotes. A glimpse at the marketing of the film suggests that Lionsgate anticipated this exact problem during its production. The film – about a pirouetting murder machine, directed by Underworld's Len Wiseman – was titled Ballerina when purchased as a spec script in 2017. But as shooting wrapped and the release date approached, the studio began to tinker. In the last year, the film's official title has changed from Ballerina to John Wick Presents: Ballerina to, finally, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina – an attempt to put Reeves' beloved hitman front and centre, despite him having only a small cameo in the film. But that still leaves the word "Ballerina" – it's now just "Ballerina" with too many other words bolted on. Tom Lashley of Gower Street Analytics, a firm that tracks and predicts box-office performance, believes that this might well have contributed to the tumbleweeds blowing in Ballerina screenings last weekend. As a title, it "lacked any sort of sell", he tells the BBC. "So the studio began tacking the name John Wick onto it in more and more aggressive ways, in an attempt to pull in more awareness. For me, it's never a good sign when things are getting renamed like that." There's precedent when it comes to Hollywood studios accidentally sabotaging their own releases by failing to land on titles with the right kind of appeal. Edge of Tomorrow (2014), starring Tom Cruise, was adapted from a Japanese novel entitled All You Need Is Kill, but as the producer of the time-twisting science-fiction thriller, Edwin Stoff, told The Hollywood Reporter at the film's premiere, "I think the word 'kill' in a title is very tricky in today's world." However, it was replaced by a title easily mistakable for a Lady Gaga track, revealing little of the film's "Groundhog Day during an alien invasion" concept. Even the film's fans were disgruntled, so when Edge of Tomorrow was released on DVD, the title was given less prominence than its tagline: "Live. Die. Repeat." More like this:• A combat epic that 'does what film does best'• Thunderbolts* is 'the greatest Marvel in years'• Disney's Snow White has a major 'identity crisis' On the other hand, swapping a bad title for a good one at the right moment can pay dividends. Pretty Woman was originally called Three Thousand, and then 3,000, because that's how much the sex worker is paid by her employer: at that point, the film was a dark skewering of "economic imbalance… it wasn't about sex work as much as an attack on out-of-control capitalism," screenwriter J F Lawton explained in 2020. But Disney executives thought that it sounded like a science-fiction film. When Lawton's screenplay was reconfigured as a fairy-tale romantic comedy, it was renamed Pretty Woman, a catchy title which referred to Roy Orbison's song, Oh, Pretty Woman, and which was used to describe Julia Roberts in countless articles about the film's breakout star. To Lashley, some of the best and most effective titles across film and TV are straightforward, distilling the story down to a single word – just as long as that word, unlike Ballerina, is the appropriate one. "[1990s sitcom] Friends was originally titled Across the Hall. It's hard to imagine it would have been as successful with that name," he says. The same might be said of the iconic Alien – or as it was originally titled, Star Beast, until screenwriter Dan O'Bannon realised that that name promised something more fantastical and Star Wars-esque than the lean, brutal horror Ridley Scott was creating. Ditto Casablanca – a film originally destined to hit cinemas as Everybody Come to Rick's – and Beetlejuice, a film that Warner Bros pushed director Tim Burton to release under the imagination-less title House Ghosts. Burton pushed back by pretending to be dead set on calling the film Scared Sheetless. Warner backtracked: maybe Beetlejuice wasn't such a bad name after all, they decided. Sometimes, it seems, the protagonist's distinctive name can be the answer, whether it's Annie Hall – changed from Anhedonia – or Amélie, Moana or Barbie. Take the example of a film with the vague working title Scorn. It was shot, edited and prepped for release, but its star kept getting its name wrong in interviews, referring to it by his character's name instead. Not a good sign. Executives at the studio financing the film decided to change the title now that buzz was building. That star was Keanu Reeves. The film was called, eventually, John Wick. -- If you liked this story sign up for The Essential List newsletter, a handpicked selection of features, videos and can't-miss news, delivered to your inbox twice a week.

EXCLUSIVE Former child star Matt Doran teases Home and Away return after surprise Star Wars fan revival
He's best known to Aussie soap fans as Damian Roberts from Home and Away. But Matt Doran has spent years quietly building a cult following thanks to his roles in two of the biggest film franchises on the planet: Star Wars and The Matrix. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, the actor and father-of-two has opened about life after fame, the double life of being a dad and a sci-fi icon, and why he's never ruled out a return to Summer Bay. Speaking ahead of a fan convention appearance, Doran, 48, admitted he once felt 'strange' attending sci-fi expos like Supanova – until he realised just how much love fans had for his characters. 'Whoever comes up to have a chat, they obviously know my work. It's such a great reminder of how lucky I've been to be part of these iconic films,' he said. Doran – who played Mouse in The Matrix and the infamous 'death sticks' dealer Elan Sleazebaggano in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones – said his brief scene in George Lucas' space opera left a huge impression on fans. 'Little did I know such a small role would be so well received,' he laughed. 'They love it. Everyone comes up and asks, 'Are you the death sticks guy?' The role, just three lines opposite Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi, was written by Lucas himself after initially asking Doran to audition for a CGI character. 'I thought, it's Star Wars, of course I'm going to jump at the chance. But the fact that it became so iconic… I still get people asking me to sign cigarette packets because of the death sticks line!' Despite the blink-and-you'll-miss-it role, Doran has his own Star Wars figurine – and proudly revealed his daughters and mum still have them in their boxes. 'I found a few in a London toy shop and brought them back. My nephews broke theirs straight away, of course,' he laughed. 'But I've kept a couple – they're pretty special.' When asked if he'd return to the Star Wars universe, Doran didn't hesitate. 'I've seen fan theories on YouTube that explore what happened to Elan after Obi-Wan told him to 'go home and rethink his life'. I like to believe he didn't. He's probably still pushing death sticks somewhere in the galaxy!' The Aussie actor is also a favourite among The Matrix fans – with his explosive death scene as Mouse still a major talking point. 'I call it my Tony Montana moment,' he joked. 'Me with two massive machine guns going out in a blaze of glory. It's actually the photo I sign the most at Supanova.' Doran says the difference between Star Wars and The Matrix was stark. 'My Star Wars role was shot in a day – it took longer to get through security than film it. The Matrix was about nine weeks of shooting over nine months. You had time to bond with the cast and crew.' He added that reading the Matrix script was a rare moment where 'you just knew' the film would be a hit. 'They actually brought that script to life exactly how I read it. Usually when I watch something I've done, the magic's gone. But The Matrix still pulls me in – I forget I'm even in it.' And what about a Matrix reboot? 'I always joke that I don't care about the sequels because I died in the first one,' he said. 'But honestly, nothing beats the original.' Doran, who now lives in Sydney with his young children, said acting is still his passion – even if family life takes priority. 'I've been acting since I was 12. I still audition and take roles when I can. It's part of me – always has been.' He recently starred in a psychological thriller Intersection, now streaming on YouTube. The one-man film, shot just before the pandemic, features Doran in nearly every scene. 'It's just me in a car, talking on the phone, trying to get my son back. It's low-budget, but from an acting perspective, it was a great challenge.' Despite often being confused with other high-profile Aussie names - including former Sunrise presenter Matt Doran – the actor said he's 'the OG.' 'There are three of us – the Sunrise Matt, the ABC journalist, and me. I'm the original Matt Doran,' he laughed. And for Home and Away fans wondering what became of Damian Roberts? 'He flunked uni, became a photographer, then joined the priesthood – didn't see that one coming!' he said. While Doran is unsure if a return to Home and Away is on the cards, he admitted he wouldn't say no. 'I still have the classic dream where I'm back on the Home and Away set but can't remember any of my lines. Maybe that's the universe telling me something.' He remains in touch with co-star Tina Thomsen, who played his sister Finlay, and says a reunion special – like Neighbours pulled off for its finale – would be a treat for fans. 'I think people would love it. I'd be happy to come back. Bring Damian out of the priesthood and back to Summer Bay!' And when he's not acting or signing figurines, Doran is focused on being a hands-on dad.
