Critical Reviews: Times of India: Rated 4/5, praising its “politics, punchlines, popcorn fun” and sharp chemistry between Cena and Elba . The Week: Described as clean, lean, fun action that deserved a theatrical release; praised Chopra’s presence amid the energetic trio . AVForums: Called it a throwback with overused spy‑tech tropes, with strong charisma from the leads but lacking deeper substance . Washington Post / AP News: Noted its avoidance of real political commentary in favor of cartoonish thrills; chemistry works, but script and action feel lacking at times . Roger Ebert: Gave it 2.5/4 stars, calling it "stupid fun" with enough style to mask its thin plot .🗣 Audience Feedback IMDb users gave it 6.4/10, enjoying it as a carefree, fast‑paced popcorn flick with standout lead chemistry. Priyanka Chopra, in particular, was highlighted as exceptional in the ensemble .✅ Highlights & Drawbacks Highlights: Cena & Elba’s Dynamic: Their playful rivalry is a standout—think buddy comedy meets world leaders. Pacing & Style: Slick editing, energetic action set-pieces, and just the right amount of absurdity. Priyanka Chopra Jonas: Delivers charisma and action presence; some reviews note she was underutilized but still memorable .Drawbacks: Thin Plot: Story is secondary to spectacle—relies on clichés and sometimes implausible logic. Weak Supporting Roles: Many secondary characters lack depth despite solid acting talent. Mixed CGI & Execution: Some visual effects (notably stunt double face-swaps) are distractingly low-quality.🎥 Conclusion Heads of State (2025) is a fun, fast-paced action-comedy that thrives on the charisma of its leads—John Cena, Idris Elba, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. While its plot is thin and full of clichés, the film doesn’t aim for depth—it’s designed as light, escapist entertainment. If you're in the mood for a buddy-movie-style political satire with plenty of punchlines and action, this one delivers a solid, if not particularly memorable, ride. Perfect for a casual watch—especially if you're a fan of star-powered banter and summer blockbuster energy.

Its a fun to watch action comedy. John Cena as the President of US is hilarious. Edris Elba suits his part as the PM of UK. Priyanaka Chopra as the secret agent probably overshines them both in acting. It started of as a really fun movie with some action, but by the second half it turned into an outright action movie. Would have been better if they would have kept the comedy as main theme througout. Overall still a decent watch. I didnt know that John Cena could act that fine. Lots of helicopters, guns, blasts and some decent action sequences. Story had promise but kind of fizzles away after first half. Still a decent watch.
