Heads of State (2025, D: Naishuller) -- S: Cena, Elba, Chopra Jonas, Quaid

Two heads are better than one. Idris Elba and John Cena are Heads of State, coming to Prime Video July 2. The UK Prime Minister (Idris Elba) and US President (John Cena) have a public rivalry that risks their countries’ alliance. But when they become targets of a powerful enemy, they’re forced to rely on each other as they go on a wild, multinational run. Allied with Noel, a brilliant MI6 agent (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must find a way to thwart a conspiracy that threatens the free world.
Jack Quaid will have 4 movies released this year. That has to be up there for movies starring 1 actor in a calendar year.
His other movie is Neighborhood Watch with Jeffrey Dean Morgan
This movie is from the director of Nobody

This was great!
Yes, it was silly as fuck, but ultimately every action movie is silly as fuck. This had a great sense of humor about how crazy it was, while not diminishing the quality of the action and fight sequences.
Such a great, fun watch.

I thought it was more fun than Red Notice.

Is Priyanka Chopra still a thing?
It seems Hollywood is trying to make her a big name in India into a major star but it has not worked.

She's an actress, and she is still super beautiful. She and Elba and Cena make for an ethnically diverse trio of stars for this streaming movie. Her association with "The Citadel" which is an Amazon show, probably got her in on this.

I've never been a Priyanka Chopra fan but she more than held her own in this (in both the comedy and the action). So whatever the reason she landed the gig, I'm glad she did and made the most of it.

Yeah, but "Chopra Jonas" really clutters up the poster. Just keep your maiden name for billing, honey.

A fun but forgettable couple of hours. Elba and Cena do have great chemistry. Knocked down a notch by some of the most basic and unimaginative musical needle drops ever. Sabotage? Again? Really?

Enjoyed for a lazy Sunday afternoon watch. The chemistry is what keeps the glue together.
From the director of Nobody. Super fun time.

You know I’m not into a movie when it takes four days to watch it. I was welcomingly interrupted several times by other things that needed to be done. So like a book, I’d put a bookmark in it and come back to the movie later.
This movie didn’t resonate with me at all.
Idris looked bored the entire time.
I gave it a single star out of five.

This was a lot more fun than it should have been. Idris Elba should be in everything. He is always great.

I went in with pretty low expectations but I genuinely enjoyed this. The fight scenes were great, especially Chopra's. I liked her a lot in Citadel and she got to do more here. The opening sequence was especially cool.
I also liked how they got pretty big actors to be in relatively small parts. Really upped the production value of the whole thing.

Fun movie. Needed 15 min cut between the car chase and the finale, IMO. It dragged after all of the plot points were revealed.
Quaid’s scene was probably the most entertaining 5 minutes of content I’ve seen this year.
