Movie Review : American Ultra

American Ultra
This film was surprisingly brilliant I'm even surprised to say that! I saw the trailer for this film and thought it would be really good then the reviews came pouring out and it was all negative so I checked it out and I was so surprised it was incredibly good. One of the best pictures I've seen all year.

A couple who live in a small town are letting life go by until they find out the boyfriend Mike is a operative from a top secret origination that has been operated so he access abilities he never thought he had. The government tries to shut him down but he will not go down quietly.

Jesse Eisenberg : Jesse was great in this film! Sure he's not delivering a strong dramatic performance but be really lets loose in this film and just has fun with this role and makes you laugh at times get emotional he had everything in this performance it was fantastic. Whenever he plays a character onscreen he escapes into the role and he dose with this character he brings his own charm and wit to it that's so entertaining to watch. He will be serious at times then make you laugh so hard so he switches between those two so well and looks so real. His onscreen chemistry with Kristen Stewart was electric. They worked together on Adventureland and their the reason I watched this film because of their ability to get along so well onscreen their so good together they need to do more films together. When they act the connection is so their so it feels more real and natural and that's what they showcase again in this film. Overall Jesse gives a hilarious performance that is very enjoyable to watch from start to finish. 

Kristen Stewart : Kristen's performance in this film is incredibly good and very well acted! She plays in a comedy film she shows her ability to be comedic and funny but at the same time her dramatic side in this film is outstanding. When she is serious and gets emotional and in the moment you believe she means it because she's so genuine and real onscreen and that's great to see any actor deliver on all levels. Then the next she can be utterly hilarious with her line delivery she dose not disappoint in this film overall she gives a terrific performance.

Nima Nourizadeh : Nima is outstanding! I have not seen his other work in Project X but after seeing this film I defiantly will check it out! He really has his own style and creates humour that gets belly laughs from the audience while getting you invested in the story and care about the character. He dosent bore you for one second he creates a pulse pounding comedy romance film and he balances it perfectly. He really deserves to be watched out for in Hollywood for his great direction overall fantastic direction from a great director.

The Lighting : nothing worth mentioning 

The Cinematography : amazing shots and ability to use the camera to create some outstanding shots. The action in it is incredible and the way they capture it onscreen is fantastic. They get you into the film and really immerse you in the picture with its fantastic cinematography. Overall great camerawork on this film. 

The Soundtrack : nothing worth mentioning
