Lucy
If humans used more than 10% of their brain network sitcoms would be endangered.
In fact, the brainiac in this action movie doesn't watch TV at all.
Coerced by her boyfriend to deliver a briefcase to a kingpin (Choi Min-sik), Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) becomes an unwilling participant in the Taiwanese drug-trade.
Forced to mule a drug capable of boosting brain function back to the States, a scuffle damages the product, entering Lucy's bloodstream.
In lieu of overdosing, she gains access to the other 90% of her brain, resulting in extraordinary mental and physical abilities.
She now hopes to unravel the mysterious of life, and get revenge.
While the concepts and car chases presented by writer/director Luc Besson are provocative, his attempt at a cerebral actioner is asinine and unbelievable at times.
Besides, even if a woman could use 100% of her brain around a cute guy she'd still only use 7%.
