Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4312660, member: 2500"] Did back-to-back CIA "Ultra Program" comedies over the weekend. Both went relatively unnoticed at the box office, but both were fun watches, at least for me. "MK Ultra" was a real CIA mind control project from the late 50s to early 70s and screwed up a number of participants - and in both movies, that's touched upon. [B]American Ultra[/B] (Netflix) features Jesse Eisenberg as a stoner convenience store clerk. He's not ripped at all and is quite the passive introspective hippie, yet when activated his training kicks in and he turns into a lethal killing machine, but he doesn't know why. Kristen Stewart is his love interest and turns out she knows more than she's let on. A lot of violence, but done with a comedic touch. [B]Mr. Right[/B] (Netflix) features Sam Rockwell as the CIA assassin who now only kills potential bad guy employers. He falls for Anna Kendrick, a woman with a history of making bad choices in her love life. Rockwell's character notices something about Kendrick's character that allows her to tap into pre-cognitive power, allowing her to become an asset in their future endeavors. Again, a lot of violence, but with a lot of comedy. I go hot and cold on Kendrick, but she's good in this one. Also stars Tim Roth as Rockwell's handler and RMZ as a bad guy with a conscience. This was a total box office bomb, and while the story and the action are outlandish, it's good fun. A whole lot better than a ton of other trash that made money. [/QUOTE]
