Barely seeing the thriller of the action packed Hollywood movie titled G20 with the calibers of the actors and actresses presented as characters in the movie really drew my full attention to the movie. Not only that, my love for political action movies also contributed to my seeing the movie and to a very large extent, I was not disappointed watching the movie as it's full of intrigue and action.
Also, the suspense of what would happen next would not even make me quit watching the movie as it's full of suspense and actions from the start to the finish.
The G20, an American action thriller movie directed by Patricia Riggen and written by Caitlin Parrish et al, featured lovely characters as being presented in the movie. Such characters include, Sutton Danielle, who happened to be the American president in the movie, Derek Sutton, her husband, their kids as Serena, the agent, Manny, we have Rutledge also, Joana, the treasury secretary and a whole lot of characters as presented to us. All these characters and the one not mentioned really played their roles to the best of their ability.
THE PLOT
The movie is an interesting movie as I have said earlier and it's full of intrigue and action. The movie started on a note of an American president calling for a G20 summit which has to do with the 20 most powerful economic nations in the world.
But before then, the daughter of the president, Serena has been found of engaging in bad characters like sneaking out of the white house to partying with friends and as a result, this led to serious issues for the president as she was asked in one of the conference organized by the president about her daughter's behaviour and how she's handling it, but the president declined the question and headed out of the conference room in preparation for the G20 summit which she announced to her family that they too would also go with her. This decision was as a result of the daughter's misbehavior as a result of her recent misbehavior.
So, after this, the president and her treasury secretary in the company of her family and her security details headed for the summit that would take place in Cape town, South Africa. So, on getting to the hotel and the venue of the meeting, they were hosted to a warm welcome and after then, they planned to commence the meeting in proper, but before the meeting, the leaders were engaging themselves and trying to lobby one another as to the proposal of the summit, which they did very well.
But in no time, the whole process and the purpose was hijacked by a group of terrorists who were bent on misleading the public on the purpose of the summit. They did this just to enrich themselves. Their act was achieved through the manipulation of the leader of the 20 countries which was done under duress and as they were being put on camera, to mislead the public, the same way the economy of the world was collapsing. It's pathetic.
But during this time, the US president had escaped with the Britain prime minister and the IMF president and there escape later paid off and after everything, they were able to tactically fight back and set other hostages free, though it was though as Manny, one the security details of the president was injured by the bullet intentionally fired to hit the president by one of the terrorist at a kitchen inside the hotel, but it's indeed freedom at the end, as both the president and her team including her family members played their part in the rescue mission. Thanks also to Serena who helped to unlock the rear door where the US security outfit used to gain entrance into the building, the husband also was there to put it, and those guys at the kitchen were not also left out in the mission.
At the end it's later known that the treasury secretary was part of those who masterminded the attack, this was known at the conference room where the president was made to issue a false statement on the economy and why the people should embrace cryptocurrency rather than the normal central economy. This was done by the terrorists to enrich themselves and portray the world leaders in a bad image. So, when the crypto wallet that was taken by force by the terrorists at the start of the movie when they killed a lady fell from Rutledge, it's Joana that took it not knowing that the president was looking at her. But at the end the whole truths were revealed and she was sent to jail while the presidents were reunited and happy together. Rutledge also died at the end after the last fight he had with the president and Serena, her daughter.
THE REVIEW:
The movie is an action movie which is centered on world politics and the world economy. We are made to understand what the economy means to the world and that there's a big difference between the centralized and the decentralized mode of economy as being portrayed by the world leaders and the terrorist respectively.
Also, there's an element of love in the movie as can be seen in the way the president's family relates with each other, the president, her husband and their children really relate well in terms of showing love to themselves. Not only this, some of the world leaders came to the event with their spouses which is a sign of love.
Betrayal can also be seen in the movie as portrayed by some of the security agents that got compromised by the terrorist's idea. The treasury secretary portrayed in the movie is the mother of all betrayals as one would not even know she's part of the plot until the end of the movie.
The issue of murder and gruesome killing in the movie is another highlight of the movie. This can be seen in the killing of the girl with the crypto wallet at the start of the movie. Also the killing of the Australian prime minister and his Korean counterparts is not worth it. Their lives were only taken for no good reason, although it's meant to send waves of fear to other leaders in the building, but it's not worth it.
Still on the review, the misinformation that did bad to the economy is another talking point. Though it's done under duress, it should have been dealt with by those outside the building. Looking at it from another angle, the false information by the terrorists through the misinformation shows us the level of trust the public have on their leaders. What this means is that the leaders are corrupt and cannot be trusted with power and every organ of governance.
RATING:
I will rate the movie 8/10.
