What if one day, you thought you’re just a simple guy with a mediocre job as a clerk store in a small town? Then in the blink of an eye you will be a super skilled sleeper agent. This is what happened with Mike Howell, played by Jesse Eisenberg with his live-in girlfriend Phoebe Larson, played by Kristen Stewart in the most awaited action comedy film of the year “American Ultra.”
Mike is just a small town stoner, yet he doesn’t know that he is a highly trained secret agent. It was activated by his former handler because he is now the target of the government for termination. From the trailer, after the code phrase uttered, he was able to kill two operatives with the use of spoon. This became a conflict with Adrian Yates, played by Topher Grace, who seems the head of the sleeper agent program. Now, Mike and his girlfriend need to save their lives from being wasted.
