My husband and I frequently watch movies together, but one of us is usually watching because the other one wanted to see the show. Of course, that is fine, but we rarely rave over the same movie. However, we both loved "Heads of State" and we both hated to see it end.
There were times in the movie where we were struck silent and other times when we were both laughing out loud. At the end of the movie, we were in a good mood and wishing for "Heads of State: Part II".
As a result of watching this movie, I also have a new appreciation for the United States President's vehicles: Air Force One airplane and The Beast, the US President's limousine. Their reproductions for the movie are pretty awesome. I hope the real vehicles are just as well-built and powerful as their portrayal.
Heads of State Movie Synopsis
Heads of State -Available on Amazon Prime VideoCheck Price
When Airforce One comes under attack, US President, Will Derringer (John Cena) & UK Prime Minister, Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) are forced to work together to survive.
Sam views Will as a movie star instead of a credible leader. He actually thinks his presidency and his physical ability are ludicrous, both a product of his on-screen image instead of fact. To some degree, he is not wrong. However, Will does have a huge fan base, therefore influence, as well as physical strength.
Will doesn't like Sam because he publicly supported his opponent in the presidential race.
As they seek to find safety on the ground in a foreign country, they learn to rely on each other and find they make a pretty great team. They do get a lot of help from friends! Marty Comer (Jack Quaid), who admires President Will Derringer and Noelle Basset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) who adores Prime Minister Sam Clarke, are well trained "real action heroes" that arrive at the most opportune times to save the day.
______________
Heads of State is a awesome suspense thriller to begin with, but with the added humor and interactions between characters, it offers real entertainment for everyone.
I have only one personal criticism. They use our Lord's name in vain way to liberally. The irreverence is unnecessary and detracts from this great movie. Hopefully, this flaw will be corrected in Heads of State: Part II.

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to find a movie that both you and your husband enjoyed, despite your different tastes in cinematic entertainment! This sounds like a film my husband and I might enjoy, too, even though my tolerance for suspense is fairly low. Thanks so much for the review and recommendation.
