New Trailer For American Ultra

The more I see of American Ultra, the more I fall in love with this potential sleeper hit of the Summer. I do love a high concept auctioneer, and you don’t get more high concept than the tale of a small town, go no where stoner (Jesse Eisenberg) who finds out he’s a special, government trained killing machine. The script from Chronicles’ Max Landis promises to bring the action and humour in spades, with Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, and Topher Grace especially having an absolute blast. Check out the new trailer below to see for yourself.

Released: 21st August (U.S.)/ 28th August (IRL/U.K.)

Synopsis: Mike (Jesse Eisenberg), a seemingly hapless and unmotivated stoner whose small-town life with his live-in girlfriend, Phoebe (Kristen Stewart), find his life suddenly turned upside down. Unbeknownst to him, Mike is actually a highly trained, lethal sleeper agent. In the blink of an eye, as his secret past comes back to haunt him, Mike is thrust into the middle of a deadly government operation and is forced to summon his inner action-hero in order to survive.
