Collider | ‘American Ultra’ Review

Collider

American Ultra is a much stranger film than its stoner-based ad campaign would indicate. Yes, the main characters get high, but Nima Nourizadeh’s movie is a weird trip that occasionally rides a nice stoner vibe of odd comedy and bizarre antics, but it’s just as likely to indulge in shocking, bloody violence that feels uncomfortably grounded despite the outrageous plot and dim-witted protagonist.
