Takes itself far too seriously to be any fun, and yet remains too silly to be taken seriously.

Through each role, Davis reminds audiences—especially Black women of the power of our limitless being and the brilliance that unfolds when we fully step into it.

its debt to the Die Hard School of Spatially Contained Action Heroics is unavoidable, which makes it at times feel overly derivative

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 6, 2025

G20 is ultimately a feeble motion picture, delivering little in the way of thrills as it’s instead content to recycle familiar action beats from far superior films.

This fairly predictable, subtlety-free, but occasionally fun “world-order-is-under-attack” fable is essentially Cape Town Has Fallen, but with Davis as an uncompromising, but liberal-leaning US President and Ramon Rodriguez standing in for Gerard Butler.

Falling somewhere between Air Force One, Die Hard, and Murder at 1600, G20 feels firmly indebted to maximalist 1990s-early 2000s action filmmaking. It’s consistently entertaining, with a healthy mix of spectacular action and comedic relief.

Call this the Viola Davis show. She makes any film better with a unique blend of authentic gravitas, and this easy-to-digest actioner falls right into that bracket.

| Apr 26, 2025

The set-ups are wooden and the action is completely expected though that is part of the fun with films like this, but the set design and staging is lush, which might be that Bezos money.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2025

Viola Davis is the dealmaker. Sure, she brings an extra dimension of emotional truth and groundedness to the character, but it’s not just that. It’s also what Sutton symbolises.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 22, 2025

Viola Davis always entertains but this is just too much of the same old same old.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/20 | Apr 22, 2025

G20 is enjoyable as a streaming movie. Viola Davis stands out, but nothing else is that memorable.

| Apr 22, 2025

It’s nothing more than a mere distraction watch after a long day at work. For many moviegoers, that’s exactly what they’re looking for.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 21, 2025

Despite its high-octane setup, the film is hollow at its core, lacking emotional depth or real stakes. It gestures at political commentary but never digs deep. That said, it’s clearly designed to be a popcorn flick with a wild premise and little else.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 20, 2025

...make no mistake, nothing is surprising in the film’s sequence of events, nor any over-the-top lines of dialogue signature of any movie of this particular ilk...

| Original Score: C- | Apr 19, 2025

What I mostly loved about G20 - this is usually a genre reserved for white men and women in the lead.  It was more than refreshing to witness Viola Davis changing that narrative in a dress with an AK-47

This is a movie you can put on in the background and forget about for thirty minutes or more and not miss a beat when you resume paying attention.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 18, 2025

Long story short: is G20 good? Not really. Is it fun? Kinda-sorta-sometimes, in a plane movie, no thoughts, head empty, smooth brain way.

I'm a huge fan of Viola Davis. She is always fantastic in whatever she is in. However, this movie does not do her justice. Visually it looks cheap. The script is so contrived and too confusing of a plot.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 18, 2025

It's a nice little entertaining action joint.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 18, 2025

Despite the strong performances by Davis and Starr, G20 is a streaming film unworthy of their talents. A president-versus-terrorists film full of action should be really entertaining, but G20 is dull and familiar at most turns.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 17, 2025
