I just got a chance to view the film American Ultra. I was under the impression that it was some kind of stoner movie and my movie guy Mark thought it was a spy thriller. While there are these as element in the film, it is instead a Sci-Fi through and through. That however is far from a saving grace,
Mike and Phoebe are stoners. Mike works in a convenience store and even though Mike has major phobias, all seems well, until that is a woman shows up at the store and starts spouting gibberish at
Mike. From there it gets weirder and weirder. Think of Chuck on acid.
I would like to call it a fun romp as Chuck was but it isn't. American Ultra is at times violent, bloody and a goodly helping of gore.
All play well into the plot but like I said, there are goodly amounts of all mentioned which can be off-putting. I would rate the film a 7. You however might rate it higher, but I think 7 is fair.
