G-Force: Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital Copy Edition
Review by JAM
“Hey, I’m nine inches tall, I only see the upside” Darwin (Sam Rockwell)
When the world’s in trouble, who ya gonna call? Ok, Ghostbusters would be my first answer too, but G-Force is choice number two. G-Force is an elite group of highly trained agents who are more than they appear to be, especially since they appear to be small furry rodents. Starring an A-Team of vocal talent with Sam Rockwell, Nicolas Cage, Jon Favreau, Tracy Morgan, and Penelope Cruz as the G-Force team (with Steve Buscemi providing the voice of a crazy hamster Bucky), this small yet resourceful team takes on a billionaire’s (Bill Nighy) plan for world domination, with a little issue with a mole on the team that causes a hiccup along the way.

Think of this as Mission Impossible or James Bond for kids. The action sequences are well done with a plot line that is typical secret agent movie story with the team facing insurmountable odds, a betrayal, and a world that does not understand them. Much like a James Bond movie, it also has the typical female-exiting-the-water-in-slow-motion-shot, but this time with a guinea pig. The originality of the movie comes from the idea of the little guys saving the world, and the overall theme of the movie is to believe in yourself, even when no one else does, so it gets high marks for this. Besides, how many other movies do you get to see guinea pigs save the world from a Transformer type invasion of cappuccino machines and household appliances? Give this one a try for the kids in your life, and you might just find a little enjoyment for yourself.
