American Ultra is a fairly stereotypical secret agent film. The story follows a stoner named Mike who discovers that he’s a CIA sleeper agent when he’s accidentally activated, and he soon finds himself on the run with his girlfriend from agents who are trying to kill them. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Topher Grace, and John Leguzamo, the film has a solid cast. And the fight scenes and chases are pretty good; full of lots of exciting and dynamic action. But the plot couldn’t be more generic and cartoonish, and everything is way over-the-top. Some of American Ultra is kind of fun, but overall it’s a poorly written and formulaic action film.
