A Day in the Life of Lucy. But what a Day!

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2014)

I love Luc Besson, his wicked sense of humor, and his impeccable eye for future detail.
I'm hooked from the beginning, as is Lucy the main character. It is just brilliant how she sways almost on, then off the hook, again and again, until, bam! the Trap snaps shut. Then it is on for the ride as the bad just gets worse, and worse and worse...
Yes the premise is nonsense, but toss that, as you have to with most film fantasy. For all of those who thought this was the flaw, why on earth are you giving higher scores for the mass of clichéd tripe that abounds in Hollywood?
This is a ride, a wild, wild ride in the one day left for Lucy as she wrecks revenge on some of the most realistic and frightening nasties you're ever likely to meet. Their implacable objective is to get back what Lucy took and she isn't going to let them have it!
Luc Besson you've done it again, out Hollywooded Hollywood, out Kung Fu-ed Hong Kong and created an alternate universe that I would sign up for in a blink. ...if it weren't so devastatingly deadly.
