In G20A new Viola Davis action film that began to be broadcast on Amazon Prime Video, the American president guides his world leaders through a crisis as if they lost small lambs. She obediently cleanses the disaster created by the clumsy jester of a British prime minister (played by Douglas Hodge). She gently accepts a compliment of the Italian President of the International Monetary Fund (interpreted by Sabrina Impiciatore) about strength, trust and height. And, of course, she hits the bad guys and, here is the true kicking, saves the world of a global economic collapse. A bit also Ionic, don’t you think?
Perhaps this fantasy of the American heroism of us would be easier, in fact, in fact possible, swallow in the 90s, when The West Wing He was on television and the idea of the United States as the leader of the free world was the next so ridiculous. But at a time when the current president is wiggling a global commercial war that is causing the actions to collapse? When it threatens to “acquire” American allies as a Roman emperor? When, just before Donald Trump’s second term, the United States has been constantly isoking the UN allies to cast minority votes against the cessation and action of climate change? In times as the thesis, the idea that world leaders would look for the United States to carry it through a crisis is presented as more than a crazy fantasy. It is frankly absurd.
Directed by Mexican filmmaker Patricia Riggen, with a script written by Caitlin Parrish, Erica Weiss and Logan & Noah Miller, G20 It stars Davis (also executive producer of the film) as the fictional president of the United States, Danielle Sutton. President Sutton travels with her husband (Anthony Anderson) and two children to South Africa for the annual G20 summit, a conference where the leaders of the richest countries in the world meet in a sample of global economic cooperation.
President Sutton has a vague “union” plan that is trying to push, but that quickly falls along the way when an extremist group led by a Australian crypto-bro terrorist (Antony Starr) kidnaps world leadership. The plan? Make each politician read a phrase that allows them to create a false deep of said politician who says what they want. This will increase the Bitcoin stock of the bad and will make them rich. Or something.
G20 It is not the first action movie, or even Hedredth, which is given to this patriotic fairy tale. (After all, the Pentagon sacrifices subsidies and other financial support to the films that positively represent the US army, and have done so for decades). But it is” Possible, the offender with the sausage time to date.
It is difficult to suspend its disbelief by this alternative version of the World and Asian European and Asian Leaders who run into the dark light just by the brilliant light of the United States of A.-When, Friñando Friño’s new friends of Tothsthe. Hell is happening in our country. The plot of G20 It makes no sense because it is hash be. Any reality based on reality would make it impossible to support the so -called good types.
Look, sometimes, G20 It was fun. I don’t think it’s worse than non -sense political action films that have presented it, such as the boring of Antoine Fuqua It has fallen Franchise. With G20The director Patricia Riggen tells a concise visual story, just when the script wobbles. The effects are not great, but the fighting sequences, such as a daring escape in the ceiling of an elevator, or a Only at home-Sque Kitchen Booby Stipy-Zippy and creative. And Davis is a Oscar winner for a reason. She eats the screen turning courses in the observables and delivering generic lines of dialogue with gravitas. Maybe yes G20 It was established at a Making-Interest conference for invented government officials, it would not feel so ridiculous.
But G20 He insists on taking place at a real conference in the real world, at a time when US leaders could be further from the heroes that the world needs. Feels like a Onion Article of a movie, except, for what I can say, no one who has done this is to joke.
