Stop me if you've heard this one: 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. Oh boy! Okay, so the synopsis doesn't scream anything special, but I'll tell you what works for me: Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart getting tased. I have no ill will towards either of them, but watching Stewart drop like a box of rocks is not a bad way to spend my day. See for yourself!
The idea of a sleeper agent being pursued by the very people who created him is nothing new, so I'm surprised that they're not pushing the comedy a little bit more in these trailers. Frankly, if these "bits" are the best ULTRA has to offer, it's not looking good. Thus continues the subpar cinematic career of Topher Grace. What a waste.
AMERICAN ULTRA opens in theaters on August 21, 2015.
