A poor ridiculous film

Rating: 3/10 (8 September 2015)

Apparently the idea of this film took 10 years to get realised that for some people that was ten years wasted. The premise of this film sees a girl get forced to take this drug which slowly unlocks her brain to 100%. Scarlett Johansson is one if the biggest actresses in Hollywood and she delivers a decent performance. She transitions from frightened girl to action hero pretty well. It's just her character becomes so powerful that she becomes impossible to relate to and hard to empathise to. Morgan freeman is decent in the movie too even though he basically just plays the same thing as always. The villain in the film has nothing to him because he stands as no opposition to Lucy at all. The guy she hangs out with also has absolutely no depth to him and you won't care. The story has absolutely no depth to it at all and you won't care about any of the characters. The tension just isn't there because Lucy has absolutely no opposition in the film at all and no emotion. The script us either cliché dialogue or expositional scientific dialogue that you don't understand. There are some alright action scenes in the film but the style of this film is bold and ridiculous. They show animals in situations to explain stuff and just forget about it and the action becomes just absurd. Overall this is a poor action film that you really don't need to see.
