Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Hell hath no fury like a woman scammed in writer/director Karl R Hearne's bitter tale of ageing and revenge. Based on the demeanour of Hearne's own grandmother, "the G" (for granny) is 72-year-old Ann Hunter (Dale Dickey, Winter's Bone), who finds her freedom and savings drained by a stranger claiming to be her legal guardian. Aided by her step-granddaughter Emma (Romane Denis), the no-nonsense Ann draws on connections from her dark past and fights back. With little in the way of exposition, Hearne's tight and forceful script wastes no time getting to the point of the story. As Ann turns into a kind of pensioner Terminator, Hearne draws out the contrasts between the naive younger generation and the experienced older one. The G suffers from echoes of I Care a Lot (2020), which told a similar story from the con artist's point of view, but Dickey's blistering performance as the hard-talking OAP keeps the film watchable.
