G20, the latest action/thriller starring Viola Davis, Ramón Rodríguez, Antony Starr and Anthony Anderson, is more fun than I expected.

Directed by Patricia Riggen, G20 is a story where terrorists take over the G20 summit (a gathering of world leaders to discuss economic, financial and other pressing world issues), leaving it up to Davis’s President Sutton of the United States to save the day.

Yes, some very recognisable and sometimes unintentionally amusing action movie tropes are at play here, but that does not detract too much from the elements that work well. For example, the pace, well-structured story, good performances by Davis, Ramone, plus Starr, and some satisfying action sequences.

Watch G20 if you’re curious because it’s entertaining and certainly not too emotionally taxing.  

Happy Film Loving,
