“American Ultra” is the action movie every pothead has been waiting for.
Jesse Eisenberg is Mike, an everyday stoner kid whose biggest worry in life was how to propose to his girlfriend Phoebe (Kristen Stewart). But everything changes for the pair when it’s revealed that Mike is a sleeper agent for the government now being hunted by other agents. It’s up to Mike to unlock his former spy training to protect himself and his future wife-to-be.
Topher Grace (“That 70s Show”) and Connie Britton (“Nashville”) star as part of the force tracking Mike.
Considering Eisenberg and Stewart’s success in another 420-friendly flick, “Adventureland,” there is great expectation for a repeat performance in “American Ultra.” Plan on plenty of sincere laughs and explosions of epic proportions.
Max Landis of “Chronicle” wrote the script. Nima Nourizadeh of “Project X” fame served as director.
