What do you get when you cross Jason Bourne with Pineapple Express? No, you do not get a Pineapple-shaped grenade. You get American Ultra, which finds Jesse Eisenberg as a stoner with a slightly violent past. Check out the trailer, which is restricted largely thanks to some sweary language from the likes of John Leguizamo and Topher Grace.
The film, written by Chronicle/Victor Frankenstein’s Max Landis, finds Eisenberg as Mike Howell, an easy-going stoner content to work a boring job in a convenience store and live a happy life with girlfriend Phoebe (Kristen Stewart). He’s so settled that he’s about to propose to her, but then his life becomes very complicated. As in bullets flying and cars going boom complicated.
Mike, you see, is a government asset, a trained killer who has been in sleeper mode, but is now considered a liability and targeted for termination. Yet it’ll take more than a few government agents to wipe Mike out, especially when the nasty forces (led by Grace) kidnap Phoebe and incur our hero’s wrath.
Boasting a great cast that includes Walton Goggins, Bill Pullman, Tony Hale and Connie Britton, American Ultra will be out here on August 28.
