"Heads of State" features John Cena as President Will Derringer and Idris Elba as British Prime Minister Sam Clarke. The film follows their awkward partnership during a NATO mission after a CIA operation fails, jeopardizing democracy. Their journey includes a road trip across various countries, exploring their contrasting personalities. Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the film is characterized by its predictable plot and comedic elements, embodying a light-hearted action-comedy suitable for minimal engagement. The film includes notable scenes, such as a stunt aboard Air Force One, but overall it maintains a surface-level charm.
"Heads of State" is a cheerfully banal, easy lift that feels custom-made for airplane viewing, offering nothing more than disposable entertainment.
John Cena plays U.S. President Will Derringer, whose biggest role - until the White House - was in a franchise called 'Water Cobra.'
Idris Elba plays Sam Clarke, a British prime minister who did not support Derringer's election; the two join forces on a globe-trotting mission.
The pairing of Derringer and Clarke results in situational, not special, camaraderie, contrasting Clarke's cool reserve with Derringer's can-do naivete.
