The overall film was very precise and well organized. Without a doubt, action-thriller fans will be overwhelmed with Besson's latest effort.

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2015)

Jackson, Courtney N. October 09, 2015 Expository Writing Mrs. Smith Lucy Synopsis: Scarlett Johansson, who plays the brave role of Lucy, is deceived by a guy who she thought was a "friend" into carrying a briefcase to a supposed business contact. The once care free student is captured by a gang of men with all of the wrong intentions. After being exposed to a new European synthetic drug, Lucy develops superhuman abilities; which, causes her to seek help from neurologist Professor Norman (Morgan Freeman) who she hopes can and will help her. Review:
The movie Lucy is an exhilarating, action packed thriller that will have you on edge every step of the way. Very similar to the film Limitless, director Luc Besson with an excellent choice of casting and meticulously detailed imagery depicts the first person to access full cerebral capacity . With Scarlett Johansson cast as the main character Lucy is portrayed as a brave, fearless, and sharp minded individual. She was placed in a tough situation, and she follows her instincts in attempt to reach safety and potentially save her own life. As you get further in the movie more extreme things began to happen and more mishap's are stirred up.
Ten minutes after the movie has started, action has already taken place. At a midnight club outside of New York City, Lucy meets Richard (Pilou Asbaek) who she dates only for about a week up until the day of his death. One evening Richard tries to lure Lucy into entering a hotel by herself and supposedly delivering a briefcase to a man she'd never met by the name of Mr. Jang. But Lucy's isn't going along with the plan, so Richard quickly handcuffs the case onto her wrist forcing Lucy to complete the mission. The way she handled herself allowed viewers to get an inside look at Lucy's demeanor before the whole disaster. Once Mr. Jang comes down to "receive his package" a spark was lit and more action took place. Mr. Jang's thugs abducted Lucy and shot Richard dead on the sidewalk in front of the hotel they were at.
Although false, the combination of philosophy and scientific theory Besson delivers viewers to ponder is remarkable. These mind stimulating ideas brought additional excitement to the film! That wasn't it though, it seemed like the more Cph4 that dispensed into Lucy's internal organs the more levels of her brain she'd unlock.
Besson manages to use a lot of vivid and colorful imagery of the synthetic drug that was inside of Lucy's body. When she'd reach new levels, you could see the colorful medicine rushing through her veins fast and with really cool illuminations. This keeps the audience's attention. The aggressiveness shown by Lucy was acted on not only for revenge, but also for the safety of the drugs being exposed to the world. In hopes of storing all of the information and knowledge the drugs allowed her to and passing it on from generation to generation, Lucy's entire mission to obtain the drugs, inject them, and use 100% of her cerebral capacity wasn't an easy one. With the help of Professor Norman and his colleagues, Lucy is monitored as she absorbs all of this information through matter.
His choice to parallel Lucy's story with nature and evolutionary biology makes sense and was very unique. I would definitely recommend this movie to any one who enjoys action/sci-fi drama related genres.
