Look, Heads of State isn't terrible—it's just aggressively okay. The premise has potential: imagine the U.S. President and U.K. Prime Minister forced into a buddy-cop situation against international baddies. But the execution is standard-issue action-comedy that won't surprise anyone who's seen, well, any action-comedy from the past two decades.
The reviews tell the story: 68% on RT (critics were polite), 69% audience score (viewers shrugged), 6.4 on IMDb (meh), and a particularly damning 2.7/5 on Letterboxd where film nerds hang out. It's the kind of movie you put on when you're folding laundry and want something that won't demand your full attention.
For families, it's fine for 14+ kids who like action movies, but don't expect it to become a go-to rewatch or inspire much beyond 'that was okay, I guess.' There are better action-comedies out there, but if this is already queued up on Prime Video and you've exhausted other options, you won't hate yourself for watching it. Just don't expect to remember it next month.
