Not convincing!
"G20" sets out to be a high-stakes political thriller but ends up as a chaotic blend of clichés, flat dialogue, and a lead character powered more by plot armor than by actual depth.
The antagonists are cartoonish at best, and while Davis gives it her all, even her talent can't elevate a script that gives her nothing real to work with. Her character is less a leader navigating crisis and more a one-woman army with an overused action trope checklist.
Visually, the film is competent - slick shots, moody lighting, fast cuts - but none of it can hide the hollow core. The geopolitical backdrop feels more like window dressing than substance, with any meaningful commentary buried under explosions and melodrama.
In the end, "G20" feels like a poorly staged summit itself: loud, overhyped, and completely lacking in anything that matters.
