Review of American Ultra (2015) by Matthew H — 20 Aug 2015

If you like to watch movies that give you an opportunity to think I would recommend The Imitation Game and Ex-Machina; if you go to the movies strictly to be entertained might I suggest American Ultra.

This is a highly entertaining film with plenty of action (albeit most of it is very violent) and a fair amount of humor. Topher Grace and Jesse Eisenberg are both fun to watch throughout the story and even Kristen Stewart gives a decent performance.

I have to add that this is only the second film that I have ever seen her in that her acting was not well below par, the other being The Runaways when she did an admirable job of playing Joan Jett. Bottom line: it's not the best film that you will see in 2015 but it is fun!
