 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.

 
 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.
 

Cool
 
Now does Air Force One actually have all those offensive weapons?
