User Reviews

The rom-com version of American Ultra

Max Landis' writing is unique and has both hits and misses. This movie succeeds in part with the impressive tonal shifts in the story as well as some original characters.

The movie plays like a Diablo Cody-thing gone off the rails, which is a good thing, if you're prepared for that kind of stuff.

The action was unexpectedly well executed, but hard to really be engaged with because of the chaotic approach to genre.

If you're into something light and fun and tired of the tropes being played over and over again, then this is the next film, you should watch.
