It's a film that takes great delight in her essentially co-opting a long series of tropes and storylines typically reserved for men in stories of this type, which is an old trope in the feminist action movie wheelhouse.

let it grab you by the noodle and zap you into its whacked-out vision of human existence. You'll feel much better for it, I promise.

Say what you will about 'Lucy,' which is an absurdly silly and sometimes aggressively stupid movie, but it's at least interested in showing us something new.

[A] supremely silly and pleasurable action movie.

It would be overstating it to suggest that Besson is enjoying a major creative renaissance but Lucy is the best film he has made in a very long time.

Lucy is a stupendously effective exercise in high-end misdirection.

Oct 23, 2016Starting out quite interestingly, carried by its leading lady and an unusual premise, the film loses some pace in the middle part and gets totally lost in the showdown. Sure, it was sci-fi from the beginning, but in the end it's just too much and forgets to entertain in the midst of all its semi-philosophical mambo jumbo. A wasted opportunity considering the talent involved, but at least the action scenes and editing tricks work.Jens S Super Reviewer

Sep 19, 2016Lucy is a combination of science fiction - i.e. what happens if we can use all our brain's capacity, and hot chick action hero. While I may not remember the details of the movie in a few years time, it was fun to watch for 90 minutesRed L Super Reviewer

Jul 10, 2016Without realizing I was watching a Luc Besson film, I thought to myself "This looks just like a Luc Besson film!" With visual and thematic echoes of 'La Femme Nikita', 'Lucy' delivers a shot of cinematic adrenaline with Scarlett Johansson magnetic in the title role. Interesting premise of unlocking the brain's potential requires heavy suspension of disbelief, and frankly displays an absurd egomania regarding the human mind during the final act.Doctor S Super Reviewer

May 18, 2016A hard film to review as the idea and performances were good but the longer the film goes on the more silly it gets and the harder it is to take in, It's pretty short so it's not too much of a drag when things start to get weird, No one can really argue with if this film is incorrect as we will never know what accessing 100% of our brain would be like but it's fun to think and that's what the film tries to do but apart from some ok action there's not allot of fun to be had just a giant mind trip of getting our head around what's going on.Jamie C Super Reviewer
