Takes you off guard at first but it's a fun movie to watch.

So wait, I though we had debunked the myth of human beings only using just 10% of our brains a long time ago?
You are not gonna get any science accuracy from this movie and the great Luc Besson does nothing to hide that fact. In fact, he bares it all in this over the top surrealistic action comedy (Although, I don't think the movie is advertised as an action comedy, it's purposely laughable)
The pleasing to the eyes Scarlett Johansson plays the title character who is force to use her body as a drug mule, but when the package burst she discovers an overdose of the new designer drug opens parts of her mind that would take thousands of years of evolution to do.
The film making is very unorthodox especially for a big American movie like this one. Luc's inter cuts of stock nature footage was not really something we are use to but it was worked in brilliantly and was very humorous. It felt like a major Hollywood studio was allowing this Frenchma n free creative control to make the most artistically obscure action movie the U.S has ever released in theaters, and he's proving to all studios that they should give that type of freedom to artist. Nicely done.
I also loved how foreign the movie felt, not just with the film making but with the international cast. The movie takes place mostly in Taiwan with small parts in France. Though it stars two American actors the movie's man antagonist does not even speak English.
Possible the weirdest action flick I've seen in a while, it's not for science geeks as it's thrown out the window for a more artistic focus that made for a very watchable thrill ride at the movies.
