Scarlett all the way!

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2014)

Lucy, a student in Taipei, gets tricked by her boyfriend to handover a briefcase to a Mr Jang, a Korean mob king. In the process she becomes a drug mule along with 3 others. In captivity, one of her captors kicks her in the abdomen which houses one of the drug packets and some of the contents spill out and integrate into Lucy's bloodstream. The result is that Lucy gets a heightened physical and mental capabilities and is able to utilize her mind in many ways.
What follows next is Lucy trying to get the remaining 3 packets to stay alive a little longer as the drugs start to take its toll on her. She contacts a professor who specializes in brain science and offers herself to science.
Scarlett comes out extremely well carrying this movie on her shoulders. Her transformation from mild student to ruthless killer is great to watch. Morgan Freeman is Morgan Freeman â€“ has a few lines and looks very serious as a professor.
The movie moves between action to thriller to science-drama. You are reminded of movies like Limitless, Transcendence, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Matrix among others. 'Lucy' isn't preachy about the science and stays its course during its short 89 minute run delivering on all what you can expect of Luc Besson . Definitely a one-time watch.
