GregWormald Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I saw a clip from this on the Tube and thought it might be 'interesting'. I looked it up on Rotten Tomatoes. Very mediocre reviews--both professional and consumer--but one said it had a feel like it might be a cult movie down the track. So I thought "OK, I can always just leave it early and watch something else." It's about a phobic 'stoner' and his semi-hopeless girl friend; and then it turns into something else. Comedy, thriller, and ????. It's not great but I found it to be a lot of fun. Careful, it has some gory violence. Boy, sometimes I have weird tastes.
Mobe1969 Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 I loved it. A lot of fun. And the DTS-X soundtrack is awesome too! Action comedies are a far undervalued / underutilized genre.
G M Fude Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I enjoyed this, too. A bit lightweight, inasmuch as you'll know if you're going to like it within the first 15 minutes (by comparison, a film like 'Us' really needs to be viewed well into the second act). I'd probably watch American Ultra a second time, in a few years.
