Decent revenge film

The G is a well made film and much better than most low budget revenge flicks. Dale Dickey is great and perfectly cast. The injustice she and her husband go through sets the story up nicely. There are some pacing issues. A few sections feel padded out to stretch the run time to 100 minutes when really 90 minutes would have been more than enough. The action sequences are well handled. I would have given this film an 8 or a 9 but the final showdown was a little rushed. I was waiting for the G to pull the rug out from under the main villain's feet, but then something major happened off screen that was explained with a quick throwaway line. I felt like I'd been cheated out of a really tense final showdown that the film had been building up to.This film is definitely worth a watch though, especially if you are a fan of revenge movies.

Miserable revenge

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

From the look of the posters, this ought to be a film about a Polish gangster! Instead, it's about the curmudgeonly, vodka-swilling, "Ann" (Dale Dickey). It's really only her grand-daughter "Emma" (Romane Denis) who takes any interest in her as she goes through life with her incapacitated husband "Chip". Asleep one night, their home is invaded by people armed with a court order that puts them into a legally binding guardianship arrangement. This basically says that they are incapable of managing their own affairs and have to have someone else take control. Nobody asked anyone to do this, nor did the couple know of the court proceedings supporting it. It was all down to a dodgy doctor on the payroll of "Rivera" (Bruce Ramsay) who had his eye on their condo and their savings. Now locked inside their new apartment, she is determined to get out - especially as their new hosts can prove quite violent when it comes to making sure that they have squeezed out every penny the couple have. What "Rivera" doesn't count on, though, is that "G" has a bit of an history when it comes to looking after herself. What follows next is all a bit procedural and though Dickey is clearly having some bad-ass fun, the main thrust of the story is really the outrageous scenario that it represents: that some states in the US allow people to be summarily removed from their homes, and from control of their assets, by anonymous third parties fuelled by greed and palm-greasing. It's worth a watch, but the television will do fine.
