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

Consistently surprises from its thriller vantage and [offers] another highlight performance from an actress boasting a career that’s full of them.

Beyond the well-enough paced crime elements and the completely eschewed action elements, there is relatively little to The G beyond The G in question.

A stronger take on what Thelma tried to achieve.

A stylish noir crime film, The G is atmospheric and ambitious… and almost sticks the landing.

Horrible direction, and the plot is meandering. One of the worst movies I’ve seen recently.

I'd probably give this film a 3.5 to 4 star review, but since the reviews so far all seem to be 1 star (outrageous!) or 5 stars (over the top!)- I'm going to skew positive. It's a slow-burn, but smart and well put together. If you're looking for an action film, stay away. If you're looking for something more character-driven, this is a good film for you.
