Movie Info
When a boyfriend tricks Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) into delivering a briefcase to a supposed business contact, the once-carefree student is abducted by thugs who intend to turn her into a drug mule. She is surgically implanted with a package containing a powerful chemical, but it leaks into her system, giving her superhuman abilities, including telekinesis and telepathy. With her former captors in pursuit, Lucy seeks out a neurologist (Morgan Freeman), who she hopes will be able to help her.

Starting out quite interestingly, carried by its leading lady and an unusual premise, the film loses some pace in the middle part and gets totally lost in the showdown. Sure, it was sci-fi from the beginning, but in the end it's just too much and forgets to entertain in the midst of all its semi-philosophical mambo jumbo. A wasted opportunity considering the talent involved, but at least the action scenes and editing tricks work.

Lucy is a combination of science fiction - i.e. what happens if we can use all our brain's capacity, and hot chick action hero. While I may not remember the details of the movie in a few years time, it was fun to watch for 90 minutes

Without realizing I was watching a Luc Besson film, I thought to myself "This looks just like a Luc Besson film!" With visual and thematic echoes of 'La Femme Nikita', 'Lucy' delivers a shot of cinematic adrenaline with Scarlett Johansson magnetic in the title role. Interesting premise of unlocking the brain's potential requires heavy suspension of disbelief, and frankly displays an absurd egomania regarding the human mind during the final act.

A hard film to review as the idea and performances were good but the longer the film goes on the more silly it gets and the harder it is to take in, It's pretty short so it's not too much of a drag when things start to get weird, No one can really argue with if this film is incorrect as we will never know what accessing 100% of our brain would be like but it's fun to think and that's what the film tries to do but apart from some ok action there's not allot of fun to be had just a giant mind trip of getting our head around what's going on.
