This drug allows her to unlock the full potential of her brain. Somehow, this causes her to be able to manipulate electricity, control people\u2019s bodies and minds, and other crazy stuff. Lucy vows revenge on those that forced her into her life of crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really enjoyed the premise of <strong><em>Lucy<\/em><\/strong>. The idea that unlocking the inter-connectivity between brain cells creates a sort of cosmic awareness that opens the secret to life\u2019s mysteries, erases ignorance, promotes understanding, eliminates desire, and wipes away pain. Sadly, this great idea is wasted on a second rate action movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some might complain that the movie is excessively preachy. I found the \u201cpreachy\u201d bits to bit the most interesting. At least they had something to say, important or not. The rest of the film is just bargain basement crime movie cliches and ham-fisted action scenes that are stitched together in such a way that it just comes across as preposterous and silly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writer\/director Luc Besson has done silly before and made it work. Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/movieassault.com\/index.php\/1997\/05\/18\/the-fifth-element-1997\/\"><strong><em>The Fifth Element<\/em><\/strong><\/a> for a superbly silly \u2013 yet entertaining \u2013 science fiction film. Here, the silly parts are doled out with such grim-faced seriousness that you want to instinctively reject it as you would a vacuum cleaner salesman knocking on your door at 8 AM on a Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scarlett Johansson delivers an off-kilter performance. Her character is believably frightened at the beginning of the film when her life is threatened but she gains confidence in her powers instantly. This doesn\u2019t ring true based on the character\u2019s personality. Morgan Freeman, I suspect, was cast because he can deliver his lines with a straight face and an unwavering voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that bothered me \u2013 aside from the idea that we only use 10% of our brain power is completely untrue \u2013 is that this drug is ready for sale yet we are supposed to believe that no one who previously took it experienced any of the same effects that Lucy did? No one else tried it? Seems a bit sketchy to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s too bad because <strong><em>Lucy<\/em><\/strong> does have some likable parts. The visual effects are spectacular and the action scenes, as stupidly stuffed into this movie as they are, are impressive and innovative. It\u2019s too bad they\u2019re wasted in a movie that needs more brains than action. Isn\u2019t that ironic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"fsrs\"><span class=\"fsrs-stars\"><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"hide fsrs-text fsrs-text__hidden\" aria-hidden=\"false\">2.0 out of 5.0 stars<\/span><span class=\"lining fsrs-text fsrs-text__visible\" aria-hidden=\"true\">2.0<\/span><\/span><br><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2DaY19x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buy on Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bargain basement crime movie cliches and ham-fisted action scenes are stitched together in such a way that it just comes across as preposterous and silly.
