I can make her talk

[nogodnomasters · 1/10 · 24 January 2024]

There is no one in this story named Betty. Valerie (Emily Rose Hernandez) is an LA detective who can't keep her partners alive. She goes after the Sanchez cartel with or without the help of her agency. Sanchez is in Mexico and she can't get to him legally. A DEA gut shows up to help. The plot was easy to follow. The dialogue was poor. The acting was a joke. Two girls are kissing in the beginning as a dress drops and then the next thing they are both in a car. This is basically how the production handled the sex and nudity. The blood was bright red and looked odd splattering on the outside of the protective coveralls. This is a miss-at-all-cost type of cinema.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Really Hits The Mark!

[JeromeV79631 · 9/10 · 23 March 2024]

I really enjoyed this movie. From the gunplay, to the mano-a-mano fight scenes, to the at times over-the-top dramatics, it's clear the filmmakers had fun telling this story. Valerie is determined to bring down a major drug kingpin who is peddling laced contraband. Assisting her is a team of ex-Feds and DEA cohorts. The story takes us through the deserts and dark corners of the south. Actress Emily Rose Hernandez really owns the lead character. The movie celebrates crime drama in the mold of Tarrantino and Sergio Leone. The finale features a great Western town set with full complement of extras and all the gunplay you could ever wish for. Great movie to watch with friends - highly recommend!

Great Revenge Story

The story is off the charts - twists and turns that keep you hooked, and Valerie's character is legit badass. But let me tell you, the cinematography is what blew my mind. The visuals are so on point; it's like they painted each scene with pure creativity. The colors, the angles, everything - it's like watching art unfold on the screen. If you're into indie flicks that bring the story and visuals together in a great combo, this one's a must-watch for sure!

A Revenge Film with tons of Action

[julianvhampton · 9/10 · 29 November 2023]

Bang Bang Betty, Valerie's Revenge was an action based crime story. In the vein of movies like Sicaro, Alex Hwang create a story that showcases the physical and emotional strength of the lead actress and her range of emotions facing from the casualties of her commitment. The story of an undercover detective going after a cartel leader after her partner's death was an interesting one and the action scenes and use of slow motion was very creative. There was lots of action and some great supporting roles. Emily Rose Hernandez was enjoyable and Kevin Caliber brought an action hero vibe. After seeing part two of the story, I look forward to taking a trip back to learn about the origins of Valerie.

Valerie Ain't Messin' Around

[dawnamo-91106 · 9/10 · 21 November 2023]

Bang Bang Betty: Valerie's Revenge is a crowd-pleasing action film that sweetly rests on the shoulders of lead, Emily Rose Hernandez. The film tells the story of Valerie's journey to seek revenge in the wake of her lover's murder by the diabolical cartel leader, Sanchez (Hector Soria).

The film features a diverse, ensemble cast bringing solid performances. Standouts for me included Gerald Parrish as Ray, and probably my new favorite henchwoman: Mariah Padilla as Luna.

Overall, the film is a thrilling watch for action/crime moviegoers that isn't afraid of a little girl on girl action or topical editorializing around fentanyl use. Co-writer/Director Alexander T. Hwang delivers so much Bang Bang for the budget, you can't help but enjoy the ride.

Excellent Action Film!!!

My husband Paul and I went to see Alex T Hwang and Kate Wells Hwang's action movie "Bang Bang Betty: Valerie's Revenge" last night at the TCL Chinese Theatre at the Golden State Film Festival, and we were both amazed! The film has incredible production value, acting, direction, and music. The stunts by Gary Choi and the Rising Star Stunt Team were fantastic and it was exciting to see so many of my friends on the screen! The acting was very believable, and I especially enjoyed the comedy in the film by Gerald Parrish and the sinister character of Luna. Congratulations to Alex, Kate and the entire cast and crew!
