So I popped over to YouTube and saw this trailer for American Ultra. Just reading about it, I thought I was about to be doing some serious shaking of the head in disgust. Jesse Eisenberg stars as a stoner who apparently was part of a secret government program that made him a sick fighter, only he doesn’t remember it until a lady comes and says some magic words that somehow unlock the assassin inside. Oh, and Kristen Stewart plays his girlfriend. So obviously this has all the makings of a terrible piece of garbage. Then I saw the trailer and was actually surprised at how much fun it actually looks. We may have another entrant into the stoner comedy genre.
You have to admit the premise is ridiculous enough to make you want to see it and it looks like everyone is winking at the camera through this trailer.
