In Prime Video’s newest action flick, Viola Davis does Die Hard at the G20 summit as the U.S. President while The Boy’s Antony Starr channels Hans McGruber and terrorises the world’s leaders with a plot to deep fake them all and control the world.
The film looks like a by-the-books Die Hard-type for fans of Viola Davis. After Woman King, Widows, and The Suicide Squad, she’s no stranger to action flicks, and she looks like in peak form for the stunts. That said, will it be a groundbreaker, a poster child for Amazon Prime Video? Probably not. Another one of its mid-tier fun flicks to put on for some casual viewing.
It’s also nice to see Antony Starr in another villain role, as the Homelander could do with a few more psychotic stares and cold-blooded characters in his repertoire. That said, it’s likely a pretty minor role, as he’s listed last on the cast list. Thankfully, The Boys was picked up for another season, so he’ll be back as a baddie soon enough.
