> A very familiar theme, as well as a small quantity entertainer.

The second movie for the director. His first, ‘Project X’ was an unexpected full treat. I simply loved that one, just for the entertainment’s sake. I anticipated, ‘Project XX’ or ‘Project Y’, followed by ‘XXX’ or ‘Z’, but that never happened. I thought the director was setting up his own style of filmmaking, but this film did not clinch well. There’s no story, just based on one evening event that stretches as far as another day by adding brief oral flashbacks to match with the rest of the storyline. But the fact is it was a comedy version of ‘Hitman’.

The red band trailer I saw revealed many stuffs, but the movie still offered lots of variety from the different angles of the same stuffs. Jesse Eisenberg, I never expected him to play a character like this, he was good. But it was only a partial display, if there is a sequel, I expect that would be an uncompromised when it comes to the stunts and heroic adventure. Although I enjoyed the end credit animation.

Kristen Stewart was just hanging around, though her character had potential to be a game changer, so let’s hope the sequel strengthens that part. Yeah, I’m kind of certain about the follow-up after seeing this film’s ending, if they don’t consider to make one, that would be theirs great loss. Anyway, the movie is a good entertainer, but not your unusual story as you expect it to be.

6/10

This movie was an extreme disappointment!

The story line is good, and it could have been a very cool movie. However, the directing goes wrong from the very beginning with the going back in time to show how we got here trick, and the voice over, narration. From there it just got worst. The acting/characters are bad, the story gets lost in it self, and the twists don’t add anything to the movie.

I can’t see how this is good entertainment. They could have done to the spy genre what Shaun of the Dead did to the zombie genre.

A Fun, Flawed, Underrated Action Film with Unlikely Heroes
American ULTRA is not only one of the most underrated films of 2015 but one of the most unjustifiably detested as well. It was far from perfect, but was it bad enough to warrant a meager 43% score on Rotten Tomatoes? I don’t think so. Some of the dialogue landed with a thud and Walton Goggins could’ve toned it down a bit, but otherwise American ULTRA was a pretty slick little action film. In a year full of spy films, most will forget this little tale of the CIA and experiments gone wrong. Mike Howell (Jesse Eisenberg) is a pothead living in rural West Virginia with his longtime girlfriend Phoebe (Kristen Stewart). He enjoys a peaceful life of smoking weed and working nights at the local general store and his only concerns are the occasional harassment from the local sheriff and crippling panic attacks whenever he tries to leave town. What Mike doesn’t know (or, more accurately, doesn’t remember) is that he was once part of an experiment with the CIA where he was trained to be the perfect assassin. When the program started showing adverse mental effects on the subjects, the project was closed and Mike, the most successful of the test subjects, had his memory wiped and was given his new life. But now a young CIA upstart (Topher Grace) sees his chance to make a name for himself in the agency and begins a new operation using his own trained killers to eliminate the remnants of the old program.including Mike. It’d be an easy enough mission, if someone hadn’t activated Mike’s programming to give him a fighting chance.

American ULTRA had been advertised as a stoner comedy, which was pretty deceiving. This is an action film with an equal balance of dramatic and comedic elements. There are few beats meant to get the audience chuckling but all of them are in the promotional materials, giving the impression this is more HALF BAKED than Jason Bourne. In reality, it’s somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. And when you approach it from that angle, it’s a pretty fun movie. It’s a quick and easy 95 minutes that flies by at a sharp pace. The movie is pretty much in gear from the moment it begins, slowing down for a few brief moments to build on the relationship between Mike and Phoebe. I’ve seen this movie two or three times now and I haven’t been bored yet. On the contrary, I dig it. Jesse Eisenberg is admittedly a strange choice of action star, but it works because Mike isn’t supposed to be your average action hero. He’s not supposed to be much to look at; as far as we (and he) are concerned, he’s just a stoner who draws comics on the long, lonely nights sitting behind a cash register. Eisenberg works for the character because he can do neurotic incredibly well. When Mike starts slaughtering would-be killers with whatever mundane he’s got handy, it’s just as shocking to himself as it is to them. He has no idea what’s happening; one minute he’s straightening shelves, the next he’s assaulted by a couple of men and he’s jamming a spoon into one’s neck with skills he’s unaware he even has. With this disconnect and the resulting confusion, it’s right in Eisenberg’s wheelhouse and he rocks it. He’s also got fantastic chemistry with Kristen Stewart

In fact, I’ll come out and share my opinion that this is probably one of Stewart’s best roles. I made a point of avoiding the TWILIGHT series so I’ve only really seen her perform as Joan Jett in THE RUNAWAYS and Snow White in SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, and I’ve never shared the contempt most people have for her. I think she’s got some skill and I’ve never seen her as good as she is in American ULTRA. Now, there’s a “big reveal” halfway into the film that’s a little hard to swallow but, for all of her interactions with Eisenberg and Topher Grace, I loved her. While Eisenberg and Stewart are a perfect pair of heroes, our villains aren’t as strong. Topher Grace does really well at portraying smarmy and conniving and his character Yates is both of these things, but he’s also too immature for me to believe he would’ve been promoted as far as he had and been given the opportunity to institute his own crazy operation. I loved his bickering with Stewart and some of his tantrums were amusing but whenever he tried to come across as threatening, he flat-lined. Walton Goggins is the other big baddie of the film as the only CIA super soldier worthy of remembering, Laugher. I love Goggins and it’s great to see him in anything, but I hate Laugher’s trademark forced hyena laugh with a passion. He’s much better later in the film when he brings the craziness down a few pegs and his character starts coming to his senses a bit; I loved the final moments in the last battle between Mike and Laugher, almost as much as I loved this exchange earlier in the film when Laugher is preparing to set fire to a car that Mike’s trapped inside:

Mike: (yells from inside car) “I hate you!” Laugher: (pauses in dumping gasoline on car to yell back): “Well, I f***in’ hate you too, man!”

It’s simple and stupid but it gets a laugh from me. There are a lot of little moments like that where humor peaks through the carnage. John Leguizamo has a small role as Mike’s drug dealer that’s good for some laughs and Mike’s own naivety provides him with some good material. It’s a perfect blend, really. I’m disappointed to see the lukewarm-to-cold response American ULTRA received. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’m giving it a recommend. I think it’s worth it and it might surprise you.
