Reviews
Good direction, bad pacing - not funny enough to be a good comedy, not visceral enough to be a good thriller, someone needed to agree upon a tone and ramp it up.

American Ultra somehow manages to be the most romantic film of the year. Tons of fun. Its kind of like if True Romance, Pineapple Express and one of the Bourne films got into a fight at the grocery store.

Not a comedy - but a crazy, violent, suspenseful ride peppered with a healthy dose of black humor

The movie has the sleepy vibe of some of those scuzzy '90s crime thrillers. It aspires to Natural Born Killers, but has barely enough competence to get close to something like Feeling Minnesota.

This isn't a masterpiece. But in my opinion it's a fun, crazy, ultra violent stoner flick with a focused and well directed story. In fact, it reminded me a lot of 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' in terms of its blend of humor and violence. Admittedly not for everyone, but it's also not trying to be.

Following the lines of stoner films like Pineapple Express, American Ultra delivers an action film with some big names. However, you'll need to get stoned to enjoy this film.
