      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      American Ultra has some interesting ideas, but like its stoned protagonist, it's too easily distracted to live up to its true potential.

It's fun and it's written with humour. Watch it, you won't regret it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Alec B Oddly enough, it's the surprisingly strong chemistry between Eisenberg and Stewart that keeps the movie together. Otherwise it's entertaining, if also a bit disappointing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Sophie Von Hagen How can I recover my money from a fake Bitcoin investment website? Contact Lost Recovery Masters I lost about 746,000 pounds worth of Crypto to a fake investment trading platform that tricked me into investing on their platform with the intent of earning a 15% daily profit. I was losing it all to a point that I couldn't afford to take care of my bills and my Family. I was very disappointed with myself and was drowning in shame. I had to do a google search and came across Lost Recovery Masters, a cryptocurrency recovery company who are experts in recovering stolen and lost crypto funds. I immediately reached them out and explained my problem and they were able to recover 75% of my funds. I will recommend them to any victim out there trying to recover their funds back.

      Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Complex American Ultra, built upon ridiculous premise and casting, is not only the funniest but unexpectedly one of the best action movies of the summer. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 24, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire A loud, ugly, slapdash combination of action movie, pot comedy, criminal romance, and conspiracy thriller - and about as lumpy and ungainly as you'd imagine such a stew would be. May 27, 2016 Full Review Alex Abad-Santos Vox There are patches where the film stalls and crumbles under too much explanation. That's a shame, because the movie does have bite and sterling moments. But you shouldn't have to be stoned to appreciate them. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review A rather exciting, downright visceral, very often romantic, and unexpectedly fun experience. Rated: 3/4 May 27, 2022 Full Review Therese Lacson Nerdophiles "American Ultra" is Explosively Fun and Completely Ridiculous Rated: 4/5 Oct 9, 2021 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site That the filmmakers have some consciousness of the criminal role of the CIA makes the movie, that is neither funny nor well made, a shameful project from the start.
