Fun, but in parts
'American Ultra' rides on a roaring idea, but the film is only fun in parts. While the action is gruesomely cartooned, the Writing doesn't hold after a while.
'American Ultra' Synopsis: A stoner - who is in fact a government agent - is marked as a liability and targeted for extermination. But he's too well-trained and too high for them to handle.
'American Ultra' is consistently high on energy & gore. The protagonist's unreal physical strength amuses you, but later-on, it doesn't. I enjoyed some parts, particularly the initial madness. But, the last half fails. The predictability isn't the problem, its just that the idea gets exhausted after a point.
