New from Amazon, we have John Sena and Idris Elba headlining an
action-comedy. Sena plays new American President Will Derringer while
Elba is the Prime Minister of the UK. President Derringer is a
Schwartzenegger-style movie star renowned for his action movies and Elba
doesn't much like him but circumstances - the shooting down of Air Force
One over Belarus - force them to work together and to try to save NATO.
There's also a romantic subplot between the Prime Minister and a woman
from his past.

I won't spoil any more of the plot. Suffice it to say that there's lot
of shootin' and killin' to keep us engaged and a fair number of puns.
It's not going to win any awards for realism but I enjoyed myself and I
think you will too.

IMDB gives it 6.5 but I think it deserves higher.

Ob Veeus just wrote to Robin and me recommending it. I’ve said elsewhere, I
fell asleep during a different show and woke up in the middle of heads of
state as the plane crashed, and they met the cute girl in the jungle and
had no idea what the hell was going on, but added it to my watchlist!

It will make more sense if you watch it from the beginning. ;-)

I started it up in the middle of the night and saw it from the beginning

Today I’m dealing with the fact that the DMV destroyed the records of the

Got a link to a news report on that?

 This one is about the previous letter where they told 83,000 people they
had had their identity stolen

Thank you.  I read both and I can smell the fishyness of it hundreds of miles away.  The problem was "discovered" nine months ago but they are only NOW telling people about it?  And it is something like one system broke, breaking another system and possibly a third system?  If that is even close to the reality this is FUBAR'd to the nth power.
