Viola Davis playing the president kicking butt. This film is a great big action romp that is a lot of fun. I wonder why a film with a black woman in the lead has got so many negative reviews?? Hmm I wonder why? Ignore the haters. Of course it is daft, of course you have to suspend disbelief as you have to in all these action movies. All I can say is I really enjoyed it. Probably not a 9/10 but I needed to negate some of those harsh dudes! Of course the idea of an American president caring about world hunger is the biggest suspension of disbelief needed. Antony Starr being a baddie is his own accent too!
Saw this on my Prime video screen. Great cast so gave it a go on a dark Monday night and it was actually a pleasant surprise! Familiar family dynamics but still enjoyably entertaining despite knowing where it was going. Asa Butterfield and Cora Kirk are likeable leads, nice support from Daniel Mays, Alex Jennings and Harriet Walter and the rest of the reliable British cast. This is not a film that will go down as a classic but it is undemanding, pretty cosy although actually the film kept me interested all the way through. The most traumatic thing - someone leaves their phone on a train and let's face it, we would all be totally stumped with that situation. Who even knows phone numbers any more!!!
Solidly enjoyable fluff.
