You had me at Big Bad MAMA <cough> Gram Gram
Oh My Gob, ‘The G’ is an action-packed movie that stars Dale Dickey as a little old lady with a ass kicking background. I’m all about seeing films with older people with a dark past who don’t take guff from anybody. I especially love the corporate greed villain using the courts to rob senior citizens. All I can say is you get all of them Granny. The movie heads to the theatres/VOD this June 27th.
SYNOPSIS:
Ann Hunter (aka “The G”, played by Dale Dickey) and her husband retired to an unnamed American suburb 10 years ago to be near his family. But one day out of the blue they are snatched from their home by a corrupt legal guardian who believes they have hidden wealth. Their home and assets are legally stripped from them and they are put in a prison-like “eldercare facility,” victims of an exploding old age industry. Trapped in a corrupt and terrifying system, The G begins to show her true mettle as she and her loyal granddaughter fight to get them out… and get revenge on the people who did this.
A “winter-noir” based on real events/inspired by the filmmaker’s own family experience, “The G” is an original portrait of a fierce older woman in the kind of role that a woman is rarely cast in.
A highly atmospheric blend of suspense, dark humour, and moving human relationships that confronts age-related issues head-on, “The G” is driven by one astonishing main character, rivetingly portrayed by Dale Dickey.
