Nonsensical garbage

Rating: 3/10 (1 August 2017)

'Lucy' tells the story of an ordinary woman who develops superhuman, godlike abilities after she is abducted by a drug lord. Lucy is forced to hide illegal drugs inside her in order to transport them abroad, but when the substance accidentally leaks, she begins to develop superhuman powers and abilities.
This might be science fiction, but that doesn't excuse such a ridiculous plot. It's so illogical and dumb that, while Lucy might be gaining brain capacity, it feels like you as the viewer are losing your own. Very little of this story makes sense, especially the second half of the film which is almost entirely action and violence.
The most frustrating thing for me is how Morgan Freeman is wasted in a role that could have been filled by anyone. Ultimately his presence brings nothing to the film. 'Lucy' is garbage and will probably only satisfy the die-hard sci-fi fan.
