 New from Amazon, we have John Sena and Idris Elba headlining an

 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.

 
I enjoyed the fact that they acknowledged they were in a punning contest
and working to come up with new ones.
 

 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.
 

Agreed.
 
Hey, BTR, did you ever get to ride in "The Beast"?

Yes, I drove it twice.

It's a lot more resilient than they portrayed in the movie.

And it doesn't have a sunroof for Jamie Foxx to shoot out of like in WHITE
HOUSE DOWN. In fact none of the windows move at all. They're welded in place.
