Review of American Ultra (2015) by Rob N — 24 Aug 2015

Didn't quite live up to its potential. [SPOILERS] Although the twist of Phoebe being Mike's handler was unexpected, I think the story would have been better served if we found out that he was a sleeper agent when he did.

Instead, the constant switching between Mike's static life and what is coming for him inside the CIA creates a tonal imbalance that can't decide if it wants to be amusing or overtly serious. Topher Grace continues to play unlikable asshole characters.
