Lucita wapita

Rating: 6/10 (17 December 2014)

An action movie with an interesting concept and a beautiful lead actress, what's not to like about this movie? Well, personally one of the main problems I have with movies is when the main character isn't likable (unless they are meant to be horrible) but even then some bad guys are likable.
Lucy is put in a tough situation at the beginning of the film and from there the story goes. Drugs are put into her stomach to transport but after getting kicked in the stomach 3 or 4 times they leak into her blood stream and she becomes a butt kicking machine with the smarts of Albert Einstein times 100.
She quickly is able to find a professor played by Morgan Freeman and asks for his help and opinion on what is going on. Obviously Freeman's character is astonished and very curious. The rest of the movie is the bad guys trying to get their drugs back. Lucy was 1 of 4 "packages" and she's stopped them from getting to there destinations.
While Lucy is trying to find answers, she's not very kind and doesn't care much about other people and the consequences she leaves behind. What happened to her was terrible but before she's injected with this drug we didn't know much about her other than she seemed a bit trashy and not someone who you would particularly like. It's not that I didn't care about the character, it's that she didn't seem to care about any one else either which made her somewhat not likable.
The action and premises were great and I really enjoyed most of the movie. But the ending was a bit weird and abrupt for me but I guess it made sense if you really think about it. A solid action film.
