Heads of State X reviews: Internet is loving Priyanka Chopra-John Cena's movie, calls it ‘ridiculously FUN'
In Heads of State, released on July 2, when Air Force One gets shot down over enemy territory, the UK Prime Minister and the US President find themselves on the run and under the protection of MI6 Agent Noel Bisset, portrayed by Priyanka.
Together, the star-studded trio race against time to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.
'Heads of State is chaotic and fun. Idris Elba and John Cena are a blast duo, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas holds her own. Slick action and banter land well, but the plot's paper-thin and tone's all over. Style over substance, but it works for me,' said a social media user.
Another user said, 'Heads of State was hugely entertaining.'
'The comedy was a bit touch-and-go, but the action was high-octane explosive. John Cena and Idris Elba bounced off each other really well. And Priyanka once again proved that she got this whole badass female thing on lock,' added the user.
'Heads Of State is everything I thought it would be, a fun ride. Priyanka Chopra is here to stay and even rule Hollywood. A bona fide action star. John Cena and Idris Elba were amazing. Looking forward to Punny Noel Bisset & Nutter Marty Comer's adventures if there'll be next part,' a netizen said.
Another added: 'Heads Of State is a HIGH-OCTANE buddy comedy that flies fast and HITS HARD. Cena and Elba's chemistry is EXPLOSIVE, Priyanka is the UNDENIABLE action star, and director Ilya Naishuller brings his signature CHAOS in all the right ways. It's BIG, LOUD, and a ridiculously FUN time.'
'I really wish Heads of State had a theatrical release; it absolutely deserved one. This is hands down Priyanka Chopra's best Hollywood movie and her strongest role in an English-language film. Her screen presence is unmatchable, and the way she kicks ass is downright electrifying,' said a user.
Set against the backdrop of political chaos and globe-trotting danger, Heads of State marks Priyanka Chopra's return to action alongside John Cena and Idris Elba.
The movie has been premiered in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.

Smita Jaykar Thought Priyanka Chopra Couldn't Be A Heroine: ‘She Was Dark, Looked Like Nothing'
Smita Jaykar says Priyanka Chopra was once 'skinny and dark', but stunned her with a diva-like transformation and global success. Priyanka Chopra has shattered countless stereotypes to become one of the most influential Indian actors in the world today. But her journey to stardom was anything but easy. In a recent interview, veteran actor Smita Jaykar, who worked with Priyanka in the 2004 film Kismat, recalled her first impression of the actress and how Chopra's incredible transformation left her stunned. Speaking to Filmymantra Media, Smita candidly shared, 'I did Priyanka's initial days' film with her, Kismat. She was very thin, skinny, dark. She was introduced to me and Mohan Joshi that she will be playing our daughter. When I saw her, I said, 'Oh My God'. She looked like nothing at that point of time. I thought how do these people come to become a heroine." However, Smita admitted that her perception changed completely. 'Cut to, Priyanka Chopra was wow. I thought what has this girl gone and done. She became a diva completely. So, you can't judge somebody and say, 'Yaar, yeh kisko leke aaye ho'. Kuch maaloom nahi kiski kismat kab badal jaaye. What an actress, fab!" Priyanka has always been vocal about her struggles with body image and skin colour. In an earlier interview with BBC, the Quantico star had said, 'I was called 'black cat', 'dusky'. I mean, what does 'dusky' even mean in a country where we are literally all are brown? I thought I was not pretty enough, I believed that I would have to work a lot harder, even though I thought I was probably a little bit more talented than my fellow actors who were lighter skinned." Despite the challenges, Priyanka has carved a unique path in global entertainment. She was last seen in Heads of State, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 2. The action-comedy features her as MI6 agent Noel Bisset, alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. Meanwhile, Smita Jaykar will next appear in Maa Lapataa and the third season of web series Romeo.
