Rooted to my seat......admirably sci fi thriller

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2014)

28 August 2014 Second Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester Tonight - Lucy. This is one of those films that you completely understand while you're watching it but the minute you walk out the door you wonder 'what the heck was that about?????' Having said that, it was a gripping film. Scarlet Johansson played Lucy, a girl caught up in a deal gone bad, and who undergoes a transformation which enable her to unlock the full potential of her brain and pass on her knowledge to other people. Aided by a French policeman and an eminent Professor (played by the wonderful Morgan Freeman), she manages to direct her knowledge in the right direction. Classed as an action/sci fi/thriller this film gives you much to wonder about whilst admiring the superb performance given by Johansson as she undergoes her transformation. Definitely needs to be watched on the big screen.
