Movie Review: Lucy (2014)

Director: Luc Besson
Writer: Luc Besson
Stars: Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Min-sik Choi

Summary

A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.




What I liked

- One half of the plot was unique and very interesting
- Scarlett Johansson absolutely holds the movie together
- Morgan Freeman is still the man but not given enough to do in this movie

What I didn’t like

- The other half of the plot drags the movie down and is unnecessary
- Random killings
- Stupid, random nature clips in the beginning of the movie
- Movie never really explores the Lucy’s new found abilities

Last Word

Lucy is a movie with one unique idea that quickly devolves into a bad gangster picture and never fully delivers on its own premise.
