10 Surprisingly Awesome 2020 Movies You Probably Missed

10. Becky

For many, the prospect of Kevin James playing a murderous neo-Nazi was just too ridiculous to take seriously, and so Becky basically came and went without a peep this past summer.

Yet Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion's deliciously nasty action-thriller about the titular young girl (Lulu Wilson) fighting back against James' villainous Dominick and his army of ex-cons proved an uncommonly gut-wrenching spin on a familiar setup.

Wilson gives a spirited performance as the put-upon teenager, though James' transformative turn is truly what makes Becky worth the price of admission.

Menacing in ways you'd never expect from the man who brought us sure-fire classics like Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Zookeeper, James leans fully into the part and proves himself a far more versatile performer than anyone could've ever guessed.

If you can accept a few storytelling cliches, it delivers the grisly, unsettling goods from start to finish, with sharp cinematography and a crackling musical score to boot, all inside of a tight 100 minutes no less.
