A loud, jokey buddy action ride that keeps moving fast, pairing silly banter with shootouts and chases you can half-watch.

Two heads are better than one.
Overview
The UK Prime Minister and US President have a public rivalry that risks their countries' alliance. But when they become targets of a powerful enemy, they're forced to rely on each other as they go on a wild, multinational run. Allied with Noel, a brilliant MI6 agent, they must find a way to thwart a conspiracy that threatens the free world.
