Description:
Got a hankering for an epic action movie thats ridiculously silly? Then you need to stream the new Prime Video movie Heads of State.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Prime Video wouldnt be one of the best streaming services around if it didnt have a new original movie topping the streaming charts. Luckily for them (and us), Julys big release is a slam dunk thats become its number one
most-watched movie this week and an absolutely stupid one at that.

Dont be fooled, though. In this context, stupid is the best compliment I
could give. New action movie Heads of State is streaming on Prime Video now, and youd be a fool to miss this explosive riot. Indeed, not every critic agrees with its 67% Rotten Tomatoes score, with Empire Magazine calling it a really good, dumb comedy.

Once again, were spoiled for choice with everything new on Prime Video in
July 2025 . Heads of State isnt the only new title thats got everyones
tongues wagging: we can also sing along to Cynthia Erivos infamous vocal riff in Wicked , and get stuck into more insatiable teen drama in The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3. Why I recommend watching Prime Videos Heads of State

Lets set the scene. Idris Elba is in the position of power hes always
deserved to have, playing British Prime Minister Sam Clarke. His natural
rival is US President Will Derringer (John Cena), and theyre not shy of
making their hatred of one another incredibly public. But when an Air Force One plane is shot down over enemy territory, theyve got no choice but to work together.

On paper, Heads of State is a new movie that should be written off as a total failure, filed away in the same cheap and mediocre cabinet as Another Simple Favor and G20 . But third times the charm here, with Elba and Cenas natural chemistry giving us the throwback to the pinnacle of great 2000s action we didnt know we needed.

Theres nothing to take seriously in Heads of State everything you see is stupidly bonkers. But in a world where we dont have enough time to laugh or let our guard down, Prime Videos new movie is a welcome reprieve. Watching
two action heroes running around with guns trying to save the world is enough to take our minds off anything, especially given how well its all put together.

Clearly, Amazon has spared no expense with this release. Where something like G20 suffered from its visuals, Heads of State has the glossy Hollywood look weve come to expect from big-budget studios. At the same time, its not lost its own sense of identity, standing out from Amazons other action features with its own signature sense of humor, light-heartedness and lack of fear. Being dumb is fun, people!

Everybody involved in Heads of State is clearly letting their hair down and having a blast, so why shouldnt we? A good time at the movies doesnt have to be baked in serious subject matter, transformational perspectives or unique visuals weve never seen before. Sometimes, the best approach is to take a simple, fun concept and do it well, and youre not going to regret carving out time to watch Elba and Cena do exactly that. You might also like Elle:
