Reviews 2015 :: Jesse Eisenberg Tries To Be Funny In American Ultra by SeanAbbott: 5:53am On Aug 19, 2015
Actor Jesse Eisenberg leads the cast in the action comedy American Ultra, in which an undercover government agent who smokes marijuana becomes the target of a government operation.

Eisenberg plays Mike, a slacker and stoner who one day discovers that he has awesome subconscious skills. However, his new-found powers could prove to be too much for him as well as for his rival agents.Eisenberg is known for starring in The Social Network; he will also be seen in the upcoming Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.American Ultra also stars John Leguizamo, Topher Grace, Connie Briton and Kristen Stewart of the Twilight films. Eisenberg and Stewart worked together previously on Adventureland. – AFP Relaxnews

Nourizadeh and Landis are clearly going for a Tarantino level of blood-soaked dark humor, and while their cast is game, the film’s bursts of violence grow tiresome as its plot gets more and more ludicrous and hard to swallow. Cinematographer Michael Bonvillain (“Zombieland”) applies a nighttime sheen to otherwise forgettable locations (a big-box store, a military tent city, a ramshackle house), but whatever charm the movie possesses early on has worn out well before the final shootout.

If “American Ultra” is remembered at all in years to come, it will be as a classic example of a late-August burn-off: a high-concept movie with marketable names that nonetheless gets shoved into theaters late in the summer before reviews and bad word-of-mouth quietly send it off into oblivion.

If you think Eisenberg makes an unlikely small-town slacker, he’s an even more unlikely CIA super-agent, but somehow the two miscastings cancel each other out and make him totally believable. He and Stewart have a sweet rapport, but her character has to endure more twists and revelations than her performance can bear. (And if you’re rolling your eyes at the idea of the “Twilight” star giving a performance, you haven’t been paying attention to her most recent work. Go stream “Clouds of Sils Maria” if you haven’t seen it already.)

The other actors do what they can with what they’ve got, but it’s a little dispiriting watching Leguizamo get saddled with this lazy caricature of a drug dealer — in his early one-man shows, this is the kind of role he used to joke about always being sent to audition for.
