Prime Video’s action thriller G20 boasts a talented cast led by Viola Davis. The new action movie follows President Danielle Sutton as she attends the G20 summit, which is quickly hijacked by terrorists. G20 also has similarities to Has Fallen and White House Down as well as with Die Hard, both in terms of story and tone.
The political action movie sees Danielle Sutton take the role of the leader and hero, rescuing fellow attendees of the summit while taking out the bad guys. While many of the classic elements of great action movies are present throughout the film, G20 also feels like a modern update to the genre. Unsurprisingly, Viola Davis gives a great performance as the action hero, only adding to her impressive career. Alongside her, G20 features some well-known performers.
