'Head Of State' Review, Priyanka Chopra Sizzles Alongside John Cena In An Entertaining Action Film

Priyanka Chopra is not just a Bollywood celebrity but also a global icon. The actress has paved her way through several difficulties and made a name for herself, and the last two decades have been absolute bliss for her. She has portrayed some of the most amazing roles in the last 20 years, from Barfi to Bajirao Mastani, PeeCee proved that she is not just talented but also extremely hardworking. However, while her Bollywood career has been impeccable, her Hollywood filmography, though successful, lacked a certain 'Priyanka charm', which fans feel has returned with Heads of State.

Priyanka Chopra and John Cena win the audience over

Head of State has left the audience stunned. The actress and the film have both come across as likeable. However, the surprising element of the show has indeed been John Cena. The film is a throwback to the classic action films of the 90s, equal parts fun and thrilling. The film portrays 'Will Derringer' (John Cena) as the new US President who ends up having a standoff with the commando-turned-British PM, Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), in front of the world media. However, as a solution, the two powers decide to do a show of faith, a joint ride from the US to Europe aboard Air Force One. 

Unfortunately, there is one problem: a Russian arms dealer (Paddy Considine) attacks the plane, and the two heads of state are stranded in Central Europe. Stuck in such a dangerous situation, their only saviour is MI6 agent, Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra), who had to get them to safety and foil the terrorists' plans.

Netizens react to the film

The netizens were not far behind in sharing their views on the film. A user penned, "HEADS OF STATE is rip-roaring summer blockbuster fun! John Cena and Idris Elba are an action comedy pairing of epic proportions & Priyanka Chopra Jonas has never been better. Action-packed, absolutely hilarious, and endlessly entertaining, it’s everything you could want from a summer blockbuster. I loved every second of it. A must watch!" Another penned, "Politics turns personal and explosive in Ilya Naishuller’s slick, high-energy action comedy. Watching two world leaders bicker like schoolboys while dodging bullets and bombs is half the fun; the other half is the relentless pace and sharp narrative." 

What worked and what didn't in the Head of State

Head of State was able to keep the audience entertained with its cheesy one-liners and one-dimensional villains. The simplicity of the modern actions is evident in the core of the film. However, it is not just a normal action sequence, but also features a romantic subplot. The real chemistry that the fans couldn't get over was between Idris and John Cena. Priyanka Chopra is the muscle of the film, breaking the gender norms a little too much while engaging in the most intense fight scenes. Nonetheless, the film is not without shortcomings. The plot and twists feel somewhat generic, following tropes that have been repeated countless times before. So, while it is not a completely new concept, the nostalgia is definitely enough to keep viewers entertained.
