Leave your thoughts about American Ultra.
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA delightful summer sleeper not to be missed! |
| Zaki's CornerZaki HasanA breezy enough diversion (albeit, an insanely violent diversion) that does some clever things with its core conceit. Not necessarily "ultra," but okay. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersIt doesn't work, but I'm impressed with how hard it tries. There's an infectious sincerity to both the writing and the acting that elevates what is otherwise a messy mashup of tone, style, and storytelling. |
| The Daily BeastTeo BugbeeAmerican Ultra's stoner rambles are every bit as precise as they were with Aaron Sorkin's zingers in The Social Network, and it's a total pleasure to not be subjected to another drooling stoner cliché. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Cliffordit is Eisenberg who really floats this boat with his stoner paranoia, sweet self doubt and impeccable comic timing. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA hilarious, thrilling and exhilarating ride that's destined to become a cult classic. |
| L.A. WeeklyAmy NicholsonNima Nourizadeh’s American Ultra is a bloody valentine attached to a bomb. It’s violent, brash, inventive and horrific, and perhaps the most romantic film of the year. |
| Slant MagazineElise NakhnikianA Bourne movie turned just askew enough to be funny, American Ultra trains a bemused eye on a trope ripe for a ribbing. |
| Tribune News ServiceKatie WalshThis is a deeply weird film - in the best way - and feels incredibly of this particular moment. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's a brutal film, a black comedy with emphasis on character, but it hopes to be more than just B-movie mischief, rendering the whole picture fruitless with uncomfortable regularity. |
