Review of American Ultra (2015) by Hotelcentral — 11 Sep 2019
Imagine if Rambo or Bourne or any of the uber-killer ego-stroking fantasy roles had been performed by someone with the stage presence of a Woody Allen and you'll be close to understanding the off-beat appeal of American Ultra.
The plot is basically a conspiracy theory come true. If you believe that kind of stuff then there's a lot of deep dark secrets revealed by this film. If you know crazy when you see it then this film is a whole bunch of fun. Of course, if you harbor secret fantasies about being someone like Wick et al then there's nothing much left to say. But if you can appreciate a tale about a geeky stoner sort of dude thrust into the extraordinary without even recognizing his own surreal abilities, then this is the film for you.
It’s quirky, funny at times, full of action sequences that sometimes boggle the mind, and in the end it gives you a mild surprise that we all should have seen coming.
If you don’t like American Ultra then you have no sense of humor and you take yourself far too seriously.
