G20 Reviews
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.

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
Whether you can overlook the utopian fantasy of a Black woman president or not, Davis plays this role so believably it could very well earn her the actual presidency someday.

Taken for what it is, G20 is just a fun time at the movies, granted, it’s a streaming-only release.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 17, 2025
A decent Friday night popcorn flick that will soon be forgotten by Monday morning.

...a fairly irresistible premise that’s employed to watchable yet rather forgettable effect by Riggen...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 15, 2025
Yep, we’re deep into fantasy territory with this preposterous, dumb-as-rocks action picture. Redeeming it slightly is the consistently impressive Viola Davis,
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2025
Not exactly a world leader in the action movie stakes – but entertaining enough, particularly thanks to Viola Davis.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2025
Unburdened by narrative logic, there is a joie de vivre in the way Davis, 59, throws men over her shoulder, elbows them in the face and sprays them with machine-gun fire.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2025
Even though G20 presents itself as a fun, throwaway action movie, it's far too ponderous for its own good.
