An old woman with a violent past seeks revenge against the people responsible for her husband’s death.
Nice story, but it is Dale Dickey who rocks. I had to look up the laws surrounding the conservatorship and how it works. In a nutshell, yet another lucrative business for the American and Canadian governments and private companies. There is real-life abuse towards elderly people, and writer/director Karl R. Hearne somehow brings it to the surface. His focus, though, is divided between that and revenge, and the film seems a tad undecided. Overall, it leans towards the revenge, which is excellent because Dale Dickey is all about it. Like most of her films, she is ruthless, relentless, and decisive. Initially, The G is intriguing due to the conservatorship issue, which remains largely unknown to the public. Thugs, bullies, and criminals legally kidnap wealthy old people and exploit their money. That is a great film in and of itself. Dickey, though, turns it into a revenge thriller with a satisfactory outcome.
The problem is that its pace and rhythm are all over the place, as certain scenes should have been cut to make it more concise. For example, the sex scene was a tad uncalled for. So the first act gets you hooked, but it is Dickey who retains your attention. See for yourselves, as it’s definitely worth your time.
