The G

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.

Got to see this movie randomly.

To be honest, I was skeptical when I saw the poster and read the synopsis. Still, I thought I'd give it a shot, I like looking for gems.

The overall pace is slow and there is not much action going on. It's a thriller, but most gets resolved in talking. There's a lot of angry talking with a straight face if you know what I mean, this movie is built upon that. I do not consider this to be a drawback however, these movies are good if your mood is right. And I was in the right mood.

It turned out to be a good movie. Not perfect. The pace is shifting, characters seem to be poorly introduced and there are places where its really hard to follow who did what.

Considering all the mentioned flaws, I still really liked the movie.

First of all, the subject is no joke, this nursing home scam is a real thing and people who engage in this stuff must be put to justice as soon as possible, this must stop.

Secondly, I really liked the characters, they do feel human and we get to see clearly how everyone is flawed and yet finds his own way to maintain, I guess that's how you discover a real character. The lead is strong.

This movie is grim, I really liked that, it's serious and it earns its respect.

The drama is okay, acceptable, its honest, but it could've been much deeper. I guess, this is a part where a lot could've been improved for this movie to become a real gem. An opportunity was lost here, unfortunately.

The plot... I mean it's nothing new and this type of plot has obvious drawbacks, but this movie has served it quite well in my opinion. It was well executed. Someone has put a thought in it and I can tell it was someone who has some sense.

This is actually great movie. I will recommend it to my friends.

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 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.

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.
