'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.

Max Landis's Screenplay scores high in the first-hour & the idea alone, is damn fresh. But, The Writing sags in the latter half. Nima Nourizadeh's Direction is hazy. Cinematograpphy is fine. Editing is crisp. Action-Sequences are brilliantly executed.

Performance-Wise: Jesse Eisenberg is a joy to watch, yet again. The supremely talented Oscar-nominated actor doesn't miss a beat & comes up with a stupendous performance. Kristen Stewart shows a marked improvement over her previous works. She's more natural this time around. Topher Grace is an unconvincing baddie. Connie Britton is feisty. Walton Goggins hams. John Leguizamo & Bill Pullman are solid in brief roles.

On the whole, 'American Ultra' can easily be watched once, despite its minuses.

The plot is nothing new: A guy trying to get the love of the one he admired. We all have seen something like this in the past, and we will see something like this in the future. But in this movie the plot isn't important.

When you watch it you just know how it's gonna end, and so the focus is not on the plot but the actual happenings in the movie, and there's a lot. First, the movie is funny, with its many gags that just keeps on coming (a Farrelly Bros. tradition). They might not be in everyone's taste, but at least they aren't forced or out of place. Second, the people seem real enough to be in the situations they brought themselves into (kudos for the great acting, though it could be better). Third, Cameron Diaz is adorable, beautiful, and a marvel to look at. Plus, she got the job carrying the whole movie and she accomplished that ever so gracefully. You just can't help but fall in love with her too, along with every guy in the film.

This is a very good romantic comedy by the Farrelly Bros.. Just like in "Dumb and Dumber" or "King Pin", the brothers have made a comedy that has just the right amount of everything. Excellent job!!

One more thing, a bollywood remake has also been made on it, with big star cast. But as usual, a remake is never as good as the original!!

I love Jennifer Lopez and I thought she was terrific in this thriller. The action scenes are great and the movie flows well. It's one of those bad movies that you actually enjoy a lot, somewhat a guilty pleasure. Kristin also looks amazing in the movie. Ryan Guzman does a fine job. Claire is just like any other woman who has been cheated and feels vulnerable. She finds in Noah the pleasure that she was seeking after so long but could't imagine how the situation would turn out. Turns out to be, that the boy next door, full of love promises is actually a psycho and cannot let her in peace. The movie surprises you from the beginning to end. There are some clich
