I had no idea what to expect from this film, so I was very surprised by its development in the end. And quite pleasantly, I have to say. The action scenes work well, but thanks to the main duo, it also works elsewhere. Topher Grace still serves as a pretty good comedic character, so he navigates the more amusing moments quite well. The story doesn't surprise much but it's not bad at all.

No es que los chistes de American Ultra sean flojos, es que no hay casi ninguno. Aunque la película se presenta como una comedia de acción, no funciona como tal en absoluto, porque carece de perspectiva, de líneas graciosas y de elementos más ligeros, y sus protagonistas, muertos de miedo y con lágrimas en los ojos huyendo de psicópatas asesinos, están lejos de ser graciosos. Es más bien un thriller de acción con algunas escenas cómicamente exageradas y un potencial desaprovechado, ahogado en diálogos fallidos, actores no muy bien llevados y una dirección por debajo de la media.

Quite fun, with a nicely brisk pace, R-rated and quite imaginative action, that’s all the film has. Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart are an unlikeable duo – watching Eisenberg in action was especially odd and bland. I wasn't bored, but more could have been squeezed out of the premise. 60%

The movie is pretty silly, but the creators didn't aim to make viewers overthink. Instead, they served up a rollercoaster of action-filled entertainment. I wouldn't recommend this film to those seeking an artistic experience or to anyone who finds a dental visit traumatic a week in advance. However, if you're in the mood for a mentally undemanding, action-packed thrill ride where you'll discover that knives aren't the most dangerous kitchen tools, grab your raincoat and dive in. / Lesson learned: In experienced hands, even yogurt can be a deadly weapon.
