Ann Hunter (aka "The G", played by Dale Dickey) and her husband retired to an unnamed American suburb 10 years ago to be near his family. But one day out of the blue they are snatched from their home by a corrupt legal guardian who believes they have hidden wealth. Their home and assets are legally stripped from them and they are put in a prison-like "eldercare facility," victims of an exploding old age industry. Trapped in a corrupt and terrifying system, THE G begins to show her true mettle as she and her loyal granddaughter fight to get them out... and get revenge on the people who did this.

Variety

An ostensible thriller that’s not very thrilling. Still, its storytelling has the same grim satisfaction that drives its heroine.

The plot is overcooked like burnt toast... Still, after watching men over 50 like Liam Neeson and Clint Eastwood kicking butt, this feels like a gamechanger. More please.

Rated: 3/5

The G takes its time to develop and this leads to a slower pace that rewards your patience, sticking the landing in a way that is both poignant and satisfying.

Rated: 4/5

Original Cin

A raw, gripping thriller that latches onto its most powerful asset: Dale Dickey’s extraordinary performance, every glance and pause loaded with meaning. There are echoes of Hal Hartley’s early work here, with its small-town textures and understated wit.

Rated: B-plus
