Heads of State

Probably John Cena's best movie that I have seen. More action than you can beat with a tree trunk you've just pulled out of the ground.

I think the fact that Cena's character is a new president / former action star helps get over what I normally consider his bad acting. Actually works for this, and I really enjoyed the on-screen chemistry between Idris Elba and Cena.

Ignore some of the dodgy effects (not all bad tbh), and well, you're not seeing this for the perfectly written story and Oscar worthy acting are you?

Go in with your eyes open for what it is and it's a highly enjoyable watch at movie.

One of the better Amazon prime films. Great cast who are all on great form. John Cena is just fantastic and Idris Elba shows a comedic ability that has been threatening to emerge for a while. I really hope there is a sequel as it really works. The quality of the production is excellent and hats off to the director. Some great music as well. I really thought I was going to dislike the film but it was quite the opposite. Unusually for me I watched it right through to the credits at the end. For some reason the app seems to want far more words than usual so I am having to finish with this drivel. Oh well.

Politics aside, I genuinely did not expect this movie to be this good.

The casting is absolutely spot on every actor fits their role like a glove, selling the story without a single weak link.

The writing deserves praise as well, managing to balance sharp humor and clever puns with a storyline that never feels forced or sluggish. There's a clear love for the material that shines through in the smallest details, from the props to the subtle callbacks, showing a real commitment to quality.

The fight choreography is top tier and only gets more impressive as the movie ramps up, evolving from solid to downright spectacular. The gunplay is in a league of its own, easily some of the most inventive and jaw-dropping I've seen in years. As for the vehicular action, it reaches world-class status, delivering creative and satisfying sequences that keep the energy high without ever feeling repetitive.

If there's one area that fell a bit short, it would have to be the special effects, at times they felt merely average, especially considering today's industry standards.

All in all, though, this is an outstanding, silly, and action-packed ride that's absolutely worth your time.

Doesn't take itself too serious, an enjoyable flick for what it is.

Priyanka looks a great fit for action roles, she stood out the most. John was fun. Idris was charming as ever. Carla Cugino and Jack Quaid also did a great job in their minor roles.

A well-timed theme for today's climate. Unity is a great message.

I feel like they could have gone a bit deeper and darker into the characters, with some more edge and comedic relief to bring the audience up.

Beautiful scenes in Europe

Special FX and stunts did a great job, editing was on point.

Priyanka is a fine actress, will def keep an eye out for her future projects.

I really liked this movie, it goes well for a fun and light evening. Lately most comedies were cheap and i couldn't bear to watch most of them till the end, but not this one, i've got a big grin at the end of it.

All 3 main actors done their job and the choices for the British PM (Idris Elba) and for the President (John Cena) were spot on, also had no idea that Priyanka is that good in action movies. Yeah was no John Wick movie, but i wasn t expecting that either, it delivered for a comedy with some(more) action. A plus would be the special effects, nice job for those.

I would watch a follow up storry for this one :)
