A 100%-rated crime thriller that “feels like a gamechanger” is on TV tonight

The G, the 100%-rated crime thriller starring Dale Dickey, is on TV tonight.

Under the guidance of director Karl R. Hearne, the movie features Dickey portraying the role of an elderly woman named Ann. After falling victim to a con artist who swindles them out of their home and savings, Ann, also known as ‘The G,’ embarks on a determined quest for vengeance.

Ten years ago, Ann Hunter and her husband chose to retire in an undisclosed suburban area of America, close to his family. However, one unexpected day, they were forcibly taken from their home by a shady legal guardian.

In this rephrased version, I tried to maintain the original’s tone while making it more natural and easier to read:

“Their home and possessions are seized by law, forcing them into an institutional ‘eldercare facility’ that feels like a prison. Caught within a system rife with corruption and terror, ‘THE G’ demonstrates her resilience and true character.

Tonight, at 9 PM, the hard-boiled crime thriller featuring Romane Denis and Daniel Brochu is scheduled to premiere on Film4. Following its broadcast, it will also be available on Channel 4’s streaming platform.

In 2023, the movie made its debut and immediately received widespread acclaim, boasting a flawless 100% rating based on 36 critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Guardian referred to The G as a “groundbreaking” production, writing: “The storyline is excessively complex, much like burnt toast… Despite watching actors over fifty such as Liam Neeson and Clint Eastwood engaged in action, it feels like a breakthrough. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this.

In simpler terms, Variety stated that the movie seemed to be an exciting thriller but lacked the expected level of excitement. However, it had a similar dark pleasure in its storytelling that keeps the protagonist engaging, while Screen International praised Dickey’s performance as exceptional.

In the review by Bloody Disgusting, it is stated that Dale Dickey plays Ann, a character marked by raw courage and unyielding spirit despite her troubled past as an alcoholic. Moreover, her portrayal demonstrates a genuine affection for her husband. Her performance in The G is noted for its authenticity and impactful nature.

According to Comicbook.com, “The G” deliberately moves at a leisurely speed, which eventually pays off by delivering an ending that is moving and fulfilling.

The G will air on Film4 at 9pm on Tuesday, 26 August.
