Alien at the Movies

Heads of State

It’s “The Odd Couple” meets “Air Force One” meets “Safe House” as the U.S. President & the British Prime Minister are being hunted down in a revenge plot by a Russian arms dealer. John Cena, Ildris Elba, Priyanka Chopra, & Paddy Constantine star in this action thriller with a sense of humor. Jack Quaid has a supporting role. A botched CIA/MI6 mission sets off the events leading to two Heads of State who don’t see eye to eye & must then bond together for survival. With stolen tech, the bad guys seem to be constantly on their trail. Also there seems to a mole working behind the scenes & needs to be uncovered. It’s guilty pleasure, eye candy popping action to thrill the audience & with touches of humor to ease the tension. Look for one last bar scene at the end.

Alien gives it 2½ “puns & sheep nipples” stars out of 4.
