Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.

"Heads of State" stars Idris Elba and John Cena.
The plot details alone certainly sound captivating, and the trailer is a shot of adrenaline straight to the chest.

The trailer is certainly a very fun ride, but there are only two paths a movie like this can take. It's either going to be incredibly entertaining or absolute trash.
There's no middle ground with a flick of this nature. I'll give you a good example from recent history. "White House Down" is absolutely terrible. "Olympus Has Fallen" is great.
It's one or the other. Will "Heads of State" be great or unwatchable garbage? You don't know until you see it, but the fact Idris Elba is in the cast is definitely a reason to be optimistic.
The man has a long history of picking great roles, even if this one clearly isn't overly serious.
