An action comedy with Idris Alba. I was curious if he would be funny. Well, “Heads Of State” is not a hilarious action comedy, rather an action film with some jokes. Alba does not get to make a lot of those.
The veteran prime minister of the UK (Alba) and the newly elected actor prime minister of the USA (Will Derringer) do not get along well. Still they agree to share the Air Force One for a visit to Poland.
During the flight, terrorists take down Air Force One, but the heads of state survive. They have to try to find their way to a safehouse in Poland. Of course this becomes a cock-fight turning into a buddies type of film with a lot of action and a few jokes.
Not boring, not great.
Of the director of the brilliant “Hardcore Henry” by the way.
