"I feel everything" well I certainly felt douche chills

Rating: 6/10 (6 October 2014)

Luc Besson has continuously disappointed me, it's almost simplistic how he develops his female protagonists, an terrible or tragic event sets up the revenge, and use a plot device so she becomes a trained killer. I try not to compare this movie to Luc Besson's earlier work, as it makes him seem to repetitive, and he is a good film maker, although it's hard to call his work purely original when the influences are so obvious. I would compare this film to Transcendence, and in comparison, this film has better ideas, however the execution of Wally Pfister was much better considering he worked with Christopher Nolan and Lucy feels like it was made by someone trying to be Christopher Nolan. There are things which Luc Besson does in this film, which are extremely French for a mainstream movie, and certain aspects don't feel right, mainly the percentages which display periodically throughout the film. If Wally Pfister and Luc Besson switched movies, Lucy would've looked the way Luc Besson wanted it to, and Transcendence would have been interesting, with cheesy dialogue which only a Frenchmen would write.
