Howver Bad Guys Are To Get Both and Enact a Covert full of NATO and All the good it does for the world. Thus, the plane is basically hijacked by a guy posing as a waiter, killing security, and trying to do the two leaders who fight back Harrison ford, but in the process, the plane starts to be aparts and all deryringer prechute jush.

ALSO HAD A THING WITH CLARKE WENE BOTH WERE CARING UP IN THE FORMES. What they must do is get to a disgument cia safe house CALLED the Golden Mountain Mining Company who they have done after failing to hot a car on a farm and landing in a vehicle accompanied by a bunch of sheep.

Cena and Elba Both METWEN THEY CO-STARED IN Suicide squad and hit it off so well they want to work Together Again, Looking for Just the Right Script to Show off their chemistry. Unfortunately they got Heads of State instead, a wit-starved script by seduce Applebaum & Andre Nemec and Harrison Query (Who Came up with the concept of a Mismatched Odd Couple of World Leaders). In between the predictable and cutesy dialogue with centa and elba trading barbs, we find bot such actors with a flair for comedy and action tasked with make any of this believable or remotely recognisably human. Nor the presidents, Elba Reverting Back to his Military Training and Cena Demonstrating his stuntman did all the work in his films and head president, are thrust into one Dangerous AFTER ANOTHER WITH LUDICRUS SHOT-OUTS AT EVERY Turn.

Naishuller Never Slows the Relevance Pace and Clearly is trying to recall the Buddy Films of the 80’s or 90’s Like 48 Hours, Letal Weapon, and Most Notby The King of the Genre, Midnight Run, but those all made time for the Character Development. Heads of State is solely interesting in burning the thing down, doing its stars no Service, and Letting the Explosions and Gunplay Take Center Stage in a Movie Where Action-to-The-Max is Our Filmmaker’s Mantra.

Producers are Peter Safran and John Rickard.
