Reviews

Village Voice -
Nima Nourizadeh’s American Ultra is a bloody valentine attached to a bomb. It’s violent, brash, inventive and horrific, and perhaps the most romantic film of the year.

Entertainment Weekly -
Check your brain at the popcorn-butter pump in the lobby and enjoy it.

|
Screen International -
Part stoner comedy, midnight movie, outsiders’ love story and ultraviolent B-movie, this intriguing film is given real soul by stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, even if director Nima Nourizadeh’s ambitions end up being more laudable than the results.

|
IndieWire -
The bone-crunching action and relentlessly blood-letting feels out of place, and as those sequences start appearing with more frequency, the film loses much of its rangy charm.

The Hollywood Reporter -
A genre mash that's mildly amusing until it can't think of anything else to do besides flop around in the deep end of conspicuous gore.
