The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I mean, I was expecting waaaaay more jokes. And there are quite enough, but still it wasn't the focus. Of the ones that are there, the majority are well acted and funny. No lazy BS ad lib. Actual jokes.But the movie is actually a well writen, focused story, with "emotions" (not reeeeeally, but at least motivations for all the characters) and a lot of CGI blood (plus some "real" blood too here and there).It's good, its smart. But I could've used a bit more of funny and a little less of narrative sense. For my taste. The performances are optimal.

The story was confusing, the action scenes didn't have a clear tone and I didn't laugh much. Probably the worst movie I've seen this year. Certainly the worst this summer.

"American Ultra" (2015) is a hilarious action comedy that plays on the "what ifs" of someone with a creative imagination. The film is about stoner, Mike Howell, played by Jesse Eisenberg, as he struggles to understand his newly activated abilities as a sleeper agent as the CIA tries to kill him. Nothing he knows seems to make sense anymore including the love of his life, his girlfriend, Phoebe Larson played by Kirsten Stewart. This film made me relive the crazy undercover agent thoughts I had as a child because it has very silly, childlike storyline that proves to be entertaining.Though this film has an enjoyable story, I couldn't help but notice the visual effects were a little hit and miss. For example, all the explosions and blood on the actors appeared realistic, but some of the impact splatters looked amateur. It seems almost as if all the effects budget was spent on the explosions, but not enough was put toward the digital effects. If the audience can get past those minor miscues, this film is worth viewing.

Watched this film on Film 4 in the UK (actually still watching it - there's an ad break) and it's hugely entertaining. The thing is, I'd never heard of it, so had no preconceptions. Jesse whossisname killing two CIA operatives with a spoon and a Pot Noodle hooked me. This film is all good!
