Review of Lucy (2014) by Danburrito — 02 Oct 2016
Lucy is utterly bonkers and sometimes cheesey, but Scarlet Johansson's charisma and Luc Besson's stylish direction make it an enjoyable action-thriller despite its flaws. I will say that certain viewers are likely to be annoyed by the implausibility of the plot, but viewers looking for a purely entertaining ride should be satisfied.
The action is pretty solid, as are the performances and visuals. Johansson makes for a strong leading lady, and the movie does have pretty interesting themes about how the fabric of reality could be altered as we develop.
Overall, silliness aside, Lucy rises on the strength of its star and stylishness to become a wildly entertaining ride with plenty of fun. 7/10.
