I love Lucy

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2014)

I have enjoyed most of Scarlett's films including her work with Woody Allan and Lost in Translation. One recent exception being urrgghhh Under the Skin. What a come back from that one. Given my love of science fiction films this one was, for me, a grand slam.
Morgan Freeman was fine, as always, in his supporting role. Special effects also takes a big prize. Visuals galore and even better on our local XD 'IMAX wannabee' size screen.
This is a super FUN, action packed gangster/Sci-Fi film that includes the expected (Paris car chase mostly against one way traffic) and also many unexpected moments. The early raw and violent scenes give way to Scarlett's on screen transformation step-by-fun-step.
From Neanderthals and American Indians to intelligence as possibly interstellar pure energy the movie never stops to take a breath in its 89 minutes (it did not seem that short)journey.
Scarlett owns almost every scene and she does a stellar job. The film tosses a half dozen genres into a blender. Scarlett guzzles it down and runs with it.
The script came up with, for me at least, a perfect ending. In this film Scarlett, Morgan, the Paris 'cop' and ultra-evil villain deliver a truly entertaining film.
