The latest action thriller featuring Antony Starr from “The Boys” has recently emerged as a significant streaming sensation. Crafted by Eric Kripke, this Prime Video superhero spoof made its debut in 2019 and swiftly garnered favor with both viewers and critics. In the series, Starr plays Homelander, the main antagonist, while Jack Quaid portrays Hughie and Karl Urban essays Billy Butcher. Both characters are part of a larger ensemble working to bring down Homelander as a team.
Following his initial appearance in the premiere of Season 1, Starr is poised to reprise his role as Homelander in the final season of The Boys, marking its end. While Starr has become widely recognized for his portrayal of Homelander, he previously spearheaded the cast of the action thriller series Banshee (2013 – 2016) on Cinemax, running for four seasons. More recently, he featured in Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant (2023). As anticipation builds for the release of The Boys season 5, Starr is currently starring in a fresh action thriller, which has been well-received by audiences.
G20 Has Become A Streaming Hit
Starr’s Latest Project Is Topping The Charts
The action film on Prime Video, titled “G20,” is ruling the streaming scene following a variety of opinions from critics. Led by Patricia Riggen, this production sees Viola Davis portraying President Danielle Sutton, an ex-Army member who springs into action when terrorists seize control of the G20 summit in South Africa. Star is once again delivering a menacing performance as Edward Rutledge, the terrorist leader, alongside Anthony Anderson, Elizabeth Marvel, Sabrina Impacciatore, Ramón Rodríguez, and Marsai Martin, among others, in this movie’s ensemble cast.
As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about the streaming scene in the U.S. during the week of April 10 – 16. According to recent data from Reelgood, it looks like G20 has taken the top spot among all titles!

What This Means For G20
The Response To The Prime Video Movie Explained
The G20 film has garnered significant success in terms of streaming, but it hasn’t been universally well-received by critics. With a 58% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and mixed reviews, the movie faces criticism primarily for its script, which some find formulaic. Davis and Starr’s performances are commendable, and there’s enjoyment to be found in the over-the-top action scenes. However, the film has been criticized for failing to delve into deeper themes as intended, according to Felipe Rangel’s review on ScreenRant. He rated the movie 5 out of 10, appreciating the fight sequences but expressing dissatisfaction with the missed opportunities for more profound exploration.
Despite working well with limited resources and adding an air of peril with Rutledge’s character, the movie G20 had some intriguing concepts and allowed for surprising deaths. However, its obvious plot twists diminished my overall impression of the film. With its attempts at social commentary failing to resonate, G20 ultimately becomes a predictable action flick that is only passable.
The film titled G20 currently holds a 51% rating on Popcornmeter by Rotten Tomatoes’ audience, yet it seems neither this score nor the critical one are hindering the movie during its initial week. Davis and Starr’s star power have kept audiences interested, even with some noticeable flaws in the film. It will be intriguing to observe if G20 maintains its streaming success in the upcoming weeks.
