Lucy in the sky without meaning

Rating: 3/10 (23 August 2014)

ScarJo is prettier and huskier than ever. I could keep ogling her forever. Now, as to the film, it had a promising start, but somehow meandered off and the hype fizzled out. The film had great potential - something that the trailer promised big time. I would have liked it to be darker, meaner, and surreal with a sense of danger. The trouble is, the effects of a drug enhancing the brain and its consequence on the body has already been dealt with in Bradley Cooper's Limitless. At best, the Luc Besson's film is uneven, with a lost potential for great Matrix style hand-to-hand combat. I would have loved to see ScarJo whup some @$$ a' la Black Widow style. But, on the whole, its a fun film. And with ScarJo in the lead, its a great watch. But, somehow, you still get that feeling that you watched some two and a half hours of mayhem to just see ScarJo give a pen drive to Morgan Freeman?! One has to really suspend their disbelief by the gullet to accept this.
