Sometimes you just want to kick back and watch the action unfold on screen. These kind of movies often aren’t complex, but they are a bit of an escape from reality. And when you’re looking for entertainment that doesn’t require a lot of effort, it can hit the spot.

That’s probably the best-case scenario for G20, a new film streaming on Prime Video. The film focuses on the G20 Summit, which brings together the leaders of the 20 wealthiest nations to discuss the global economy. Except, this year the summit is under attack from terrorists.

That puts a crimp in the plans of President Sutton (Viola Davis), who is pitching an important proposal. She’s also brought her family along, including husband Derek (Anthony Anderson), which leaves her vulnerable. When the terrorists attack, Sutton and her chief security agent Manny (Ramon Rodriguez) make it out of the room with a small group of survivors. But it’s no easy task.

Meanwhile Derek moves to get their children but finds himself taken captive along the way. Refusing to cower and hide, the President and Manny fight their way through the terrorists and hatch a plan to regain control and save the other world leaders.

That rankles the leader of the terrorists, Rutledge (Anthony Starr), who has big plans. He’s using this strike to weaken and collapse the global economy, making himself rich off the wreckage of the world economy. He also has a past connected to President Sutton that is fueling his rage.

This isn’t a complex story, but it’s an interesting kind of film for those that like a good action feature. It joins a proud tradition of the “President is in trouble” genre of action films that have long captivated audiences. As someone who loves the Has Fallen series and owns a copy of White House Down and Air Force One, I’m probably the target audience here. And if that’s all you’re looking for, this will hit the spot.

Davis makes for a compelling lead as both the President and an action star. I liked her being paired with Rodriguez, who I have enjoyed as Will Trent on the small screen. He’s strong in the role here and does a nice job as an action star. The film has a solid supporting cast. The weakness is in the villains. Starr’s leader is a little too one note all the way through to the end of the film, and the twist involving the “inside man” was a little predictable and a little flat.

We come to these films hoping for an escape and some good action sequences. In that sense, G20 delivered. It’s not exceptional but it was a fun ride, especially for action movie fans.

G20 is now streaming on Prime Video.
