Lucy (2014)

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 2014)

Lucy is a fascinating action and sci-fi movie by Luc Besson featuring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman. They play the role of Lucy and the french professor Norman.
It is about a 25 years old girl, called Lucy, who gets caught by the Korean mafia for smuggling experimental drugs into Europe. By accident, she'll take the drug.
The plot is based on the effects of this drug on Lucy and, on the other hand, on the thesis of the professor Norman who says that the human only uses 10% of its mental capacities. They'll both make discoveries about humans because the experimental drug increases the mental capacities of Lucy and she'll be able to use 100% of her capacities.
I didn't intend to see this film at all but as everyone spoke about it, I decided to watch it. And, actually I did well.
I absolutely loved this film despite the fact that there are to many special effects at the end, in my opinion. Even if it's quite unrealistic, the story is shown in a such original and attractive way that we can't not be interested in it.
The storyline is very gripping. The way the drug increases the capacities of Lucy is amazing. I especially enjoyed the comparison between the thesis of the professor and the reality of Lucy.
As far I'm concerned, I'm totally keen on the main actors ; Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman. I've never been disappointed by their acting and I found them once more amazing in this film.
I would strongly recommend the film to anyone who loves action films and who wants to experience something new because the way the film-makers have done it is incredibly original.
