American Ultra
Everything about this movie says it should be terrible. Two terrible main actors, a stereotypical spy plot, low budget setting. But honestly, I absolutely loved it.
First word of advice though, don't read the synopsis before you watch the movie. It gives away much of the movie and it's probably part of why it got such terrible reviews.
Here's my own synopsis without spoilers...
A small town stoner and comic book artist just wants to propose to his girlfriend and leave the town, but everytime he tries to leave his anxiety gets the better of him. The main problem, it turns out that he's a CIA sleeper agent, part of an MK Ultra program. And the CIA want him dead.
The movie is quite ridiculous. It's mostly comedy, but brutally violent and really entertaining.
9/10
