One of the year's most underrated


The marketing for American Ultra sold it as some sort of stoner comedy, but it’s darker and nastier than that — the type of movie destined for cult popularity a few years from now. It’s a shame that so many just didn’t buy what the film was selling: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/the-most-underrated-films-of-2015/

gotta love someone that picks up a totally mediocre film that wasn't received well by neither the audience or the critics, claiming that it was toootally underrated. so no, i won't check out your list.

2015 overall has been a terrible year for movies, so honestly not one underrrated comes to mind, not to speak of multiple ones.

you should be honest and call it the "i liked it a lot, why didn't the rest of you like it as much as i did?" list of 2015.

I just finished watching American Ultra and... yeah I kinda liked it. Nothing great for sure. The film is erratic, messy, and tonally all over the place. But I didn't mind Stewart and Eisenberg and I kinda dug the gritty ultra-violent 70s exploitation film vibe the movie was selling. Doubt I'll watch it again, but I'm glad that I saw it.

Not underrated at all. It was a poor derivative film.

It's that man again!!

I quite liked it. Eisenberg en Stewart have a surprising amount of chemistry. It was quite sweet in it's own way.
