American Ultra
Such talented and vast cast filming a middle of the road script. It’s a higher brow version of Charlie Countryman, the cast prevents it from reaching such lows.
Yes, some of the actors are glorified cameos, one of those one day roles. There’s a lot of people dying soon after being introduced, or having all their scenes in a single location. Still, there are so many of them!
The main relationship is highly problematic, that speech in the car after the big reveal is just yuck.
Talk about nepotism. Incredible how Max Landis gets so many scripts filmed. They are all mediocre, without any standout features, but they get over the bump, with at least one A-lister attached. Looks like #MeToo is not only justice for victims, it’s also the great equaliser.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
