Bang Bang Betty

Bang Bang Betty is an interesting action/suspense/drama with a very strong and fascinating female protagonist. Kiara, the main character, is a veteran and a lawyer, and an all around cool woman. Kakra Nunoo-Brown gives a fantastic performance as Kiara Sommers, and really makes the audience root for her in her quest. I thought the filming locations were excellent, very cinematic and interesting. The cinematography was also excellent, along with some pretty epic drone shots of the landscapes. The gun shootouts were really well done and I thought the special effects were solid, especially the blood.

At its best, this is like a low-budget Kill Bill. It has solid action and welcome touches of humor. The standout in the cast is Kakra Nunoo-Brown as the title character. She's strikingly beautiful but also warm and approachable - that is unless you get on her wrong side as her enemies soon discover. I wouldn't be surprised if her career took off and she became a household name.

Gerald Parrish is also good as her mentor/father figure Ray - though their bonding and subsequent training sequence is a bit rushed. Still, I enjoyed their playful banter.

Emily Rose Hernandez is the other cast standout, both tough and beautiful, though with a vulnerability that wins the audience over.

Good Tubi popcorn flick.

"Bang Bang Betty" kicks off with the introduction of Kiara, a veteran known as Bang Bang Betty from her combat days. Now working as a lawyer with a desire to atone for her past, her life takes a dark turn when her informant is murdered, and she narrowly survives a brutal attack. With no alternative, Kiara taps into the combat skills she honed during her military service to confront a notorious crime boss. Director Alexander T. Hwang delivers action-packed sequences tightly and beautifully edited . The lead performances by Kakra Nunoo-Brown as Kiara and Emily Rose Hernandez as Valerie are backed by a stellar supporting cast, including Marc Anthony Wazer as Darnell and Daniel Moen as Mathew, who injects humor into the narrative. The well-choreographed fight scenes and action sequences are executed at a professional level, making Valerie's character a true standout and eliciting cheers from the viewers.

Bang Bang Betty is a great movie that I highly recommend. The film is very entertaining and keeps you hooked from beginning to end. The action is wonderful and acting two thumbs up.

Bang Bang Betty is an indie action movie that throws some punches in more than one way. It's gritty, it's real and it's on point! Kakra Nunoo-Brown as Assistant DA Kiara, a person with a past, knows how to throw some punches. And Emily Rose Hernandez as Valerie is stunningly beautiful firing a high powered assault rifle. It's hard to pull off an indie action movie and Bang Bang Betty does a great job at it. The camera work is great and the acting is believable but what really stood out to me was the music. The soundtrack is just great! Can't wait to check out Bang Bang Betty, Valerie's Revenge. If you like a female lead action movie and guns and explosion, Bang Bang Betty will not disappoint.
