Kristen Stewart “American Ultra” Premiere Photos: Taylor Lautner Joins Red Carpet!

Kristen Stewart may have many successful movies and a Cesar Award under her belt but the actress still had to prove her acting skills to director Woody Allen by an audition.

Switching to Langley, the film, directed by Nima Nourizadeh (“Project X“) and written by Max Landis (“Chronicle“), fills in the backstory. I had to decide whether to kill the performance for this one mosquito or let it keep going.

“American Ultra” opens in theaters on Friday, Aug, 21.

The film does read like Jason Bourne meets The Pineapple Express meets love story, as stoner Mike Howell (Eisenberg) tries to find the ideal moment to propose to long-time girlfriend Phoebe Larson (Stewart). They also both talk about the nature of interviews and their general attitude toward the whole process. I think we’re all aware that his career hasn’t exactly taken off since the Twilight franchise. What more do you want, Hollywood?!

“There’s a scene with Mike (Eisenberg) and Phoebe (Stewart) talking”.

In all seriousness, do you think this is Kristen and Taylor’s way of telling us that Bella really chose Jacob in the end, even though Jacob imprinted on her fake-looking baby?

BOTTOM LINE: This hybrid action/comedy film has good performances by Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart and some amusing moments, but it gets quickly bogged down by explicit violence.

For its first half, “American Ultra” feels like a close cousin of “Pineapple Express“, playing up the relationship between the protagonists and how their bond is strengthened by their mutual affection for marijuana. “I’d rather focus on the fact I’m working with incredibly intelligent, driven people who I just want to be around”, she concludes.

“It’s amusing, it’s sweet, it’s violent and scary”, he said of the movie.

And, in true KStew fashion, she ditched her black Jimmy Choo pumps and went barefoot on the red carpet, proving once again that she isn’t one to stick to the rules – and that’s exactly why we love her. I saw it once, I don’t know if she edited it out, but she had lots of different stuff.
