Prime Video’s original movies haven’t exactly knocked my socks off lately. After a string of let-downs, I’ve learned to keep my expectations pretty low when a new one pops up on my radar.
So when I saw the first trailer for “G20” starring Viola Davis, I wasn’t expecting anything amazing. Action thrillers can be hit or miss, and with the woeful track record of recent Prime Video movies, I wasn’t getting my hopes up.
That said, I decided to hit play and give it a chance. While “G20” didn’t necessarily wow me or get my adrenaline pumping like “John Wick” would, it did manage to deliver exactly what I needed in that moment: easy popcorn entertainment.
