5 best movies like 'Heads of State' to stream on Netflix, Prime Video and more
The pair's public rivalry threatens the two nations' relationship, but when Air Force One is blown out of the sky, they're forced to rely on one another on a globetrotting caper to save the day, alongside MI6 agent, Noelle Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas).
It's an entertaining romp, and one that's dominated the Amazon streaming service's charts since it premiered at the start of the month. If you're one of the many viewers who have already streamed "Heads of State" and are on the hunt for a similar adrenaline-pumping watch, I can help.
Below, I've put together a list featuring five more movies like "Heads of State" (and where you can stream them right now!) that I think fans of the Prime Video hit just might love.
If you want to kick back and watch another head of state take the fight into their own hands, '90s action movie "Air Force One" seems like the next logical step.
In Wolfgang Petersen's 1997 action thriller, Harrison Ford stars as President James Marshall, an uncompromising leader who refuses to negotiate with terrorists. When a group led by Ivan Korshunov (Gary Oldman) hijacks the presidential aircraft, Marshall (a Vietnam War veteran) springs into action and works to save everyone on board by taking the plane back.

I remember being told time and time again that I simply had to watch "The Nice Guys" for the longest time. And ever since I saw it, I've taken every opportunity to recommend it as one of the best buddy comedies you can watch.
If you were taken in by Cena and Elba's back-and-forth, and you want another buddy comedy to scratch that same itch, then Shane Black's "The Nice Guys" is the movie for you.
This hilarious '70s-set movie pairs up private eye Holland March (Ryan Gosling) and tough guy enforcer Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) on an investigation that sees them looking into the disappearance of a missing girl. It's madcap, wry fun, and lets the pair flex their comedic muscles brilliantly.
Watch "The Nice Guys" on Paramount Plus now
If you specifically want to see Cena and Idris Elba back in the frame, then James Gunn's pre-DCU movie "The Suicide Squad" should be your next watch.
Swapping the downbeat vibe of David Ayer's 2016 predecessor for a raucous comic book adventure, "The Suicide Squad" sees two Task Force X teams that include the likes of Bloodsport (Elba), King Shark (Sylvester Stallone), Peacemaker (John Cena) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) on a clandestine mission to destroy a laboratory that houses "Project Starfish."
It's a thrilling mix of chaotic fun and anarchic violence that should more than satisfy anyone on the hunt for more thrills.
Watch "The Suicide Squad" on Max now
Want more action? "White House Down" seems like the perfect next watch. Rolan Emmerich's action thriller sees the White House assaulted by a paramilitary group after President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) signs a controversial agreement.
Police officer John Cale (Channing Tatum) was on site with his daughter for an interview with the Secret Service. That interview doesn't go his way... but after the attack, Cale works to rescue his daughter and the President. It's explosive, dumb, popcorn fun.
Watch "White House Down" on Netflix now
*Honorable mention here also goes to "Olympus Has Fallen," a very similar flick that also sees the White House under siege and rescued by Gerard Butler, which you can rent on Prime Video now.
If you're just looking for another action comedy you can stream in the same place, I'd recommend "Deep Cover," which was one of Prime Video's big releases for June 2025.
Tom Kingsley's comedy sees down-on-her-luck improv teacher Kat (Bryce Dallas Howard) getting an offer she can't refuse from an undercover British cop (Sean Bean). He offers her a brilliant new opportunity that'll really stretch her skills: infiltrating gangland London.
To do so, she recruits two of her students (played by Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed), and the trio set off to impersonate hard-edged gangsters and break into the city's underworld. As you might expect, chaos ensues.
"Deep Cover" is another pairing of unlikely personalities, and a good dose of fast-talking, fast-moving, silly fun. If you haven't gotten round to it yet, give it a watch.
Watch "Deep Cover" on Prime Video now

This new dark comedy with Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd is so funny it almost got me kicked out of my local movie theater — you have to stream it now
Tim Robinson, I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game. Before watching 'Friendship' in my local movie theater this week (the U.K. release was delayed, whereas it landed in the U.S. in May), I wasn't aware of Robinson's brand of off-beat, usually cringeworthy humor. But it turns out his comedic stylings fit my sense of humor to a tee. I should probably also take this chance to apologize to my fellow audience members at my screening. I was laughing so loudly and so often that I started getting annoyed glances in my direction. I was half expecting an employee to quietly tell me to settle down or they'd kick me out for being a disturbance. Now, the good news is that 'Friendship' is already available to stream via premium video-on-demand platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV, so you can watch from home, if you'd like to avoid the embarrassment of uncontrollably laughing in public. Seriously, it's more than worth the rental fee. If you're looking for a bitingly sharp comedy that even mixes in some psychological drama elements to keep things interesting, then you need to get acquainted with 'Friendship.' Just be warned, it'll have you practically clawing at your face in sheer awkwardness extremely often. Craig Waterman (Tim Robinson) is a socially clueless marketing executive without a friend to his name. At the suggestion of his wife, Tami (Kate Mara), he attempts to make pals with the brand new neighbor, Austin (Paul Rudd). After hanging out a few times, Craig becomes obsessed with Austin, who works as a weatherman for the local news, plays in a punk band and his a sweet mustache. But after a highly awkward evening spent with Austin and his other pals, Craig is ostracized from the group, and Austin ends the friendship. Increasingly desperate to earn back Austin's approval, Craig's self-destructive personality goes into overdrive, and eventually, the increasingly intense situation might just ruin both of their lives. In my opinion, the sign of a good comedy is its quotability. When you spend hours after watching trying to pick out your favorite line or gag, then you know you've seen something pretty special. With 'Friendship,' I could fill a whole article with its funniest quotes, and I still can't pick my very favorite line. Even writing this article, a couple of days after watching, just reflecting on some of the ludicrous things Robinson says throughout is forcing me to pause typing because I'm laughing too much. 'Friendship' is one of the smartest written comedies of this, or any, year, and if pushed to pick a favorite moment, I'll go with the Subway scene — once you've seen the movie, you'll understand why. Of course, the whole reason that 'Friendship' works so well is down to the brilliance of Robinson. He's a comedic force from the drop, and even just a sight of his face, often screwed up into a bizarre expression, is enough to have you chuckling. The character of Craig isn't especially likable, and is in major self-sabotage mode across the 100-minute runtime, but I still found myself oddly rooting for him, just because he's so socially clueless you can't help but pity him. Backing up Robinson is Paul Rudd, no stranger to the 'bromance' genre, having also featured in 2009's 'I Love You, Man.' Rudd's Austin is presented as seriously slick, but as his layers are peeled back, we see he's just as insecure and prone to self-destruction as Craig, which adds extra depth to his character. Together, the Robinson and Rudd pairing proves to be an unstoppable double act, and the chemistry between them could not be richer. And it's not like Robinson and Rudd are forced to carry the whole weight of the movie either. Kate Mara plays the straight character, but is fantastic throughout, and Connor O'Malley shows up for a brief part, but in just a few minutes of screentime delivers multiple lines that had me in stitches. 'Friendship' takes things up a notch by layering in elements of psychological drama; the tone is often unsettling, like something bad is going to happen. In some ways, this heightens the comedy, but it also gives the movie a fantastic sense of escalation. Things build and build, and while you want Craig to just stop making things worse, you know he won't, and seemingly can't. As much as I love 'Friendship,' I can acknowledge that it won't be for everybody. It's a movie that reveals uncomfortable situations, with Craig constantly making a complete fool of himself, even though it's pretty much always his own fault that life is beating him up. And to some viewers, this large emphasis on cringeworthy humor will be hard to watch. It's certainly not an easy-going comedy full of broad gags that the whole family will enjoy. However, if you have the stomach for comedy that jumps between hilarious and slightly horrible, to the point you'll want to cover your eyes from second-hand embarrassment, then 'Friendship' is a movie you can't afford to miss. I'm certainly not 'Friendship's' only fan either. The movie currently holds an impressive 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is enough to earn it a Certified Fresh seal of approval. And even the audience score is a solid 73% — which is higher than I expected, considering I could see this movie being very divisive due to its off-beat nature and its darker tone. 'Tim Robinson expands his exquisitely painful cringe comedy style to feature length with seamless results in Friendship, a toxic bromance that'll make audiences laugh and wince in equal measure,' reads RT's 'Critics Consensus,' and I couldn't echo that write-up more. 'Friendship' is a movie I can't wait to rewatch on streaming because I have no doubt there were genius jokes I missed. After all, the laughter tears in my eyes were obscuring my vision half the time I was watching. And you better believe I'm starting Robinson's Netflix show 'I Think You Should Leave' this weekend. I hear 'Friendship' is like a feature-length episode. Consider me sold. In "Friendship," Tim Robinson and writer/director Andrew DeYoung have crafted a comedy movie that I'm going to be quoting for years to come. So I suppose I should dish out a third (and hopefully final) apology to my friend and family. Prepare for me to not shut up about this one for a very long time. Stream "Friendship" with purchase on Prime Video and Apple TV
