The target becomes a weapon. G20 starring Viola Davis is streaming on Prime Video April 10.

When the G20 summit comes under siege, U.S. President Danielle Sutton (Academy Award® winner Viola Davis) becomes the number one target. After evading capture by the attackers, she must outsmart the enemy to protect her family, defend her country and safeguard world leaders in this action-packed thrill ride.

Though known for her devastating performances in “Fences” — for which she won an Academy Award — and 2011’s “The Help,” Viola Davis knows that longevity in the acting profession means mixing it up from time to time. That’s why for her most recent outing in “G20,” she decided to kick some ass. As a deadly American President taking on a group of terrorists who’ve laid siege to a summit of world leaders, Davis is embracing her Liam Neeson “Taken”-era, largely, she said in a recent interview with The Times of London, due to her need to have some fun.

“Training, speech, technique, critics — there’s a sense of torture that you almost have to make peace with,” she said of her career in acting. “But internally you’re always trying to get back to the fun.”

And while she may be recognized as a Juilliard-trained talent with EGOT status, Davis doesn’t think that should hold her back from doing projects that might be considered more popcorn-fare than awards-worthy.

“I don’t think every movie you do has to be considered for an Academy Award,” Davis told The Times. “I wanted to do something that families could watch together, something popular.”
