The G

Karl R. Hearne's The G is a cinematic tour de force that defies expectations and leaves an indelible mark. This dark thriller is a masterclass in storytelling, thanks to Dale Dickey's exceptional performance.

Dickey is simply electrifying as Ann, a woman forced to face the harsh realities of aging and exploitation. Her transformation into a fearsome avenger is both terrifying and exhilarating. Hearne's direction is masterful, creating a world with a visual style that perfectly complements the tone of the film.

The film's exploration of ageism, power dynamics and resilience is thought-provoking and deeply resonant. The G isn't just a revenge fantasy; it's also a poignant commentary on how society often treats its elders.

From the opening scene to the shocking climax, The G is a film that demands to be seen. It's a cinematic experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Hearne has created an unforgettable character in Ann.

The G is a must-see for fans of bold, uncompromising cinema.

Okay. So you have to appreciate Dale Dickey and just how genius her character abilities are. This movie is brilliant. Not brilliant in the commercial sense of a thriller, but brilliant in the beautifully dark, emotive, and sinister kind of way. The plot is good, the character development and connections are fabulous. This is a wonderful film and I wanted to know more after it ended. Dickey's character is someone I want to know is real life just for the pure hell of it. You don't really figure it out for while, and trust me there are some pretty tough scenes. Anyway, well worth clicking watch...great dialogue...subtle and not so subtle.

The G is an intentionally miserable revenge film that showcases some of the most despicable villains of recent memory because of how they manipulate the legal system to take everything from the elderly. When the revenge finally comes it's very satisfying and suitably unflinching but the film saves it for the very end making it a bit of a slog even at a relatively short 106 minutes. Luckily, it has the right actress to keep it going until then.

Dale Dickey is great in a central performance holding everything together. She shows hints of a darker past early on and seeing her husband get mistreated is painful to watch, making her eventual revenge all the more satisfying when she shows no mercy. Bruce Ramsay as the main villain and his generically evil henchmen are the kind of bad guys who are very easy to hate thanks to how irredeemable their scheme makes them.

Karl R. Hearne's direction is very conventional in a way that rarely draws attention to itself. It looks suitably bleak, creating a strong sense of unease and confusion at the beginning when the house eviction happens with no warning. It only escalates further when they're in the care home since there's minimal contact with the outside world and the information that's slowly revealed makes their situation more horrifying.

The G is one of those redemption type movies that makes you happy to see the end result as the people involved you route to get taken down. Dale dickey plays anne, a lady that has to look after her husband but she has a bit of mystery surounding her. She gets a visit from her granddaughter but then things go wrong. Both are taken against their will and held in a sort of home for the elderly but they are not good people there and soon anne finds herself wanting to get out while her granddaughter tries finding her. This film makes you feel angry, then happy and you want the best outcome to happen. Overall the g was a pretty good crime drama.

The best part of this movie is Dale Dickey as "The G" because honestly, if you removed her from this movie it wouldn't be very good at all. Her performance elevates a not so great script and a kind of confusing story with a few too many twists and turns. While the other actors are all OK, no one stands out, leaving Dickey to shoulder the entire film and considering what a great actress she is, she handles it to perfection. The story is an interesting one, there is character development and she has some great lines, but at times I was just left confused. It didn't help that casting made the mistake of using two shaved head actors with beards to play parts that had me wondering what was going on until I realized it was 2 different actors in different roles. If you are a fan of Dale's this is worth watching, just don't expect anything worthy of her talent.
