American Ultra


This was definitely the better of the two films I saw this weekend.
Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart play a couple of stoners living a pointless existence in small town America.  One day, whilst working at his dead end job in an empty petrol station, Jesse's character is approached by a lady who recites a phrase to him and thus unlocks the hidden, killer skills he unknowingly has.. And then it really kicks off..

I enjoyed this. Both Eisenberg and Stewart have a blast and being a 15 certificate gives it a certain punch (so to speak). It's got weapons, gore, comedy... comedy weapons.. all the ingredients required for an entertaining 96 minutes.. And after some of the 'meh' I've seen this was refreshing..

Overall an easy ****
