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.

If it wasn't for the A listers, this film would just be very unappealing to the majority. I only watched it because of the cast and I knew what to expect. I wasn't wrong.

This film is insanely cringeworthy. But it is just a bit of fun. Silly action scenes with over the top CGI. It does try very hard to be comedic but I am sure it is to a child. It shocks me that this is rated PG 13 as it has some brutal scenes with the violence but they aren't graphic.

A 6/10 is generous but it was a but of fun. If you have seen any 'comedy action' before, you will be able to predict the whole movie. Trust me.

I also gave it a 6 because even though it is a politically heavy film with the 2 best friend nations coming together, it has zero actual politics in the film. Which shocks me because usually there is something lefty these days in most television now...maybe they're learning.

Worth a watch, but no need to rush for it.

Heads of State is exactly the kind of high-octane nonsense we need more of. Idris Elba smolders, John Cena flexes (mostly his comedic timing), and together they bumble, brawl, and bromance their way through a delightfully chaotic global crisis.

It's as if Air Force One, Rush Hour, and The Thick of It all crash-landed into the same film and miraculously survived. Director Ilya Naishuller keeps the pace brisk and the set pieces bonkers, never letting logic get in the way of a good explosion or a great punchline.

Sure, it's ridiculous. But it knows it. And it leans in with enough charisma, chemistry, and cartoonish diplomacy to make world peace look like something you could actually laugh your way into. Elba and Cena are the unlikely dream ticket you didn't know you were voting for.

Another film based on an overused, exhausted concept! I don't even have enough words to finish this review...

Terrible acting, zero logic, poor humour, and a colossal waste of funds on action that serves absolutely no purpose. This is a textbook example of projects sold on the backs of mainstream actors to OTT platforms purely to generate profit for those involved. Meanwhile, viewers are left with a headache, wondering how such rubbish continues to get made again and again.

John Cena and Priyanka Chopra simply can't act to save their lives, yet they somehow keep landing roles in big-budget films.

Unless you're in the mood for a pounding headache, do yourself a favour and stay far away from this disaster.

Heads of State is a thrilling ride, and Priyanka Chopra shines brilliantly in her role! Her charisma, action prowess, and screen presence elevate every scene she's in. She balances intensity with elegance, proving once again her global star power. The film itself is fast-paced and packed with humor and high-octane moments, but it's Priyanka's performance that truly stands out. Her timing, versatility, and effortless command on screen make the film a joy to watch. A proud moment for Indian cinema on the world stage. She continues to break barriers and inspire fans across the globe with every performance.
