Lulu Wilson returns as the unlikeliest of antiheroes in “The Last Temptation of Becky”, the third entry in the Becky film series. She reprises her role as Becky Hooper, a young woman with serious anger management issues and a knack for brutality. The character first appeared in the bloody 2020 action thriller “Becky”. Then again in 2023’s equally savage “The Wrath of Becky”. Now she’s back to off a new batch of Neo-Nazis for our viewing pleasure.

The Becky movies pride themselves in being over-the-top and outrageous. They have an ingrained self-awareness that pushes things to near comical levels without ever fully winking at the camera. That formula has worked very well through two films. But it starts to wear a little thin in movie #3. And while “Temptation” strikes some of the same gonzo chords fans will be looking for, it also takes the overall absurdity to another level.

Following the events from the last film, Becky is now a covert CIA field agent working under her mentor (of sorts) Agent Montana (a returning Kate Siegel). Becky is in hot water with the agency’s Director Baker (Fiona Marr) after botching two critical missions with her aggressively violent approach. But Baker gives her one more chance. It will be Becky’s very first solo mission and her very last chance to keep her job with the CIA.

Becky’s assignment takes her to Poland where she is to locate the Wolf’s Lair, Hitler’s military headquarters during the Second World War. It’s there that General Wilhelm Reuss (Neil Patrick Harris) is in the final stages of a multi-pronged plan to usher in the Fourth Reich. Reuss is the grandson of a prominent Nazi officer during the war. Now he has dusted off his grandfather’s old Nazi duds, recruited a handful of simple-minded followers, and is ready to pick up where the Führer left off.

Becky’s orders are to go in undercover, collect intel, and report back – nothing else. But it doesn’t take long for her to disobey those instructions. And after she discovers that Reuss may have connections to her father’s death in movie #1, “Temptation” turns into a full-blown revenge thriller, with plenty of potty-mouthed sass, lots of ludicrous action, and copious amounts of blood. And it’s not just Reuss Becky must deal with, but also his psycho wife Helga (Catherine Walker), daughter Luisa (Aoife Hughes), and son Otto (Noah Leggott).

Director Jenn Wexler takes plenty of notes from the first two Becky films, but she really amps up the silliness. Wilson once again has a field day in the skin of Becky, who’s crass, slightly unhinged, and even a touch sadistic. But she’s even more off-the-rails this time around, like a berserk James Bond with a semi-righteous bloodlust and significantly more violent gadgets. It’s beyond goofy, but the movie knows it which makes it easy to digest.

There is fun to be had in watching Becky wreck havoc and kill a bunch of Nazis. But don’t put too much thought into anything beyond that. That’s because there are so many things that simply don’t make sense. As for the action, it’s serviceable but nothing memorable. In fact, lukewarm shootouts and underwhelming fight choreography only work because of the blood-splattered payoffs. And those payoffs are quite fun, much like the film’s ending, which is so ridiculous that you can’t help but be entertained. And that’s a pretty apt description of “The Last Temptation of Becky” as a whole.
