Priyanka Chopra’s vibrant presence adds significant value to this middling political thriller. Her performance, punctuated with puns, brings a much-needed liveliness. The film’s plot, though simplistic, is energized by her character’s spirited nature. While the narrative shifts focus to the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Great Britain, the early vibrancy provided by Chopra is missed. However, the film finds its footing again with the dynamic duo of John Cena and Idris Elba, whose performances bring humor and a sense of fun. The action sequences are engaging, maintaining an irreverent momentum. When Priyanka Chopra returns, she injects a fresh perspective into a film that otherwise feels like an animated feature, making the characters credibly cartoonish. The film’s strength lies in its commitment to being large and entertaining, even if the plot itself lacks depth.
