Good Fun Action Comedy - Heads of State review by GI
A good ol' traditional mismatched buddy action comedy that is there simply to provide a thoroughly good time. This is one of those entertaining films that has no pretensions and delivers in spades in both action set pieces and comedy between the two main protagonists. They happen to be the British Prime Minister, Simon Clarke (Idris Elba) and the American President, Will Derringer (John Cena) who find themselves targeted by the main baddie played and somewhat underused by Paddy Considine. Shot down and forced to get along the two Heads of State have a rollicking adventure as the forces of evil try to get rid of NATO. It's all over the top as you'd expect and although it starts with a quite brutal ambush scene (with a cameo from Sharlto Copley) it then moves into the main story about these two politicians who really despise one another and spend much of their time verbally sparring until they find themselves consistently under threat. It's all mad, thoroughly implausible but will make you laugh. There's nothing overly new on show here it's just done really well and is worth checking out.
