“Wakanda and Viola Davis hit the White House in a crypto action adventure thriller where her real-life military training serves her well. With an all-star cast laden with familiar faces from television and film, you will root for POTUS loud and proud. You go girl,” a comment read.

Admiring lead stars performance, an individual shared, “Although G20 doesn’t feel wholly original, it’s still a serviceable popcorn flick elevated by Viola Davis and Antony Starr’s performances. A film like this would thrive on TV reruns, so it feels right at home on streaming.”

Another mentioned, “G20 fails in every department except for the dedicated cast led by Viola Davis & Antony Starr. Often incomprehensible action. Glaring lack of development of its main theme. Sloppy handling of sensitive real-world issues. Shockingly incoherent messages. Damn, it’s bad. The most frustrating aspect is how it’s ashamed of its own Black woman POTUS. Instead of celebrating this achievement with merit & substance, G20 turns it into a propaganda campaign built on a manipulated truth. Why?”

One more added, “G20 is part Die Hard, part Air Force One, part Olympus Has Fallen, and all parts entertaining. Viola Davis can make anything she’s in way better. Solid action thriller that wears its influences on its sleeve, but stands alone as a fun, exciting Prime Video watch.”

Viola Davis is usually seen in serious films that connect with people and get nominated for big awards like the Oscars. But this time, with G20, she decided to try something new. In an interview with The Times, the actress defending her choice said that she doesn’t feel that every movie has to be made just to win an award. Instead, she wanted to be part of a film that many people can enjoy together. Her goal was to do something more fun, rather than only focusing on serious roles.
