Very impressive action/sci fi thriller

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2014)

Lucy does seem like one of those films you'll either love or hate. I personally loved it. It's a combination of action and sci fi that is pure entertainment from start to finish.
There's a lot of great action scenes (car chases, shoot outs etc) especially when Lucy completely wipes out a bunch of people with one move. There's also some pretty gruesome scenes which may make you wince a little. Then there is once scene where Lucy makes a phone call to her parents, this is pretty emotional and allows the viewer to feel more attached to her.
The film is mostly over the top action which is very entertaining and visually looks great. The music played throughout the film made it more atmospheric but at times there would be some very witty one liners to change the mood. There was plenty of cool looking scenes and enough suspense to keep me glued to the screen.
Scarlett Johansson was superb in the lead role (I think these sort of roles really suit her). Morgan Freeman was a good choice for the professor and the rest of the cast all done a good job too.
The ending was perhaps a bit of an anti climax but overall it's a great way to spend 85 minutes if you want to watch a film for pure entertainment. A very unique film and perhaps one of the most underrated films of 2014 - liked it a lot more than I thought I would.
9/10.
