There are plenty of action movies we’ve been excited to see this year, and as we wait for blockbusters like Superman and slasher sequels like I Know What You Did Last Summer, John Cena and Idris Elba are hoping to provide audiences with some humor to go with their hijinks.

The U.S. president (John Cena) and U.K. prime minister (Idris Helba) cast diplomacy aside in a far-fetched but highly enjoyable action comedy.

Elba, whose career includes a lot of what might be called prestige genre, has such natural poise and gravity that one assumes he's done all the Shakespeares and Shaws and Ibsens, but "The Wire" and " Luther " were more his thing.
