Johansson is undoubtedly a Hollywood leading lady

Rating: 7/10 (4 May 2017)

Ambitious in its subject matter - Writer/Director Luc Beeson continues to stay true to his storytelling regardless of how ridiculous its content. I enjoyed the idea of the film but felt it didn't execute to its potential. This is definitely a "love it or absolutely hate it" kind of film in its genre. I feel like I approached the film appropriately anticipating exactly what it intended to be - just a fun 90 minute thrill ride with an absurd premise - w/ Scarlett Johansson & Morgan Freeman at the helm. AND by the way - after seeing Ghost In The Shell & now Lucy - there's no reason for any haters out there to doubt Scarlett's talent & ability AND bank-ability as a Hollywood leading lady. You can always count on Beeson to be authentic and unafraid to put everything into his filmmaking; so go into Lucy open-minded and you may actually find yourself liking it.
