Lucy

It's "Lost in Translation" meets "Traffic" meets "Limitless" meets "She" meets "The Matrix" when Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) becomes an unwilling Asian mob drug mule. The accidental drug packet leakage into her system amps her brain power ten-fold. She becomes superhuman proof of a professor's (Morgan Freeman) brain usage theory. Director/writer Luc Besson provides a French connection (Taiwan to Paris mainly) to this sci-fi action fantasy fluff with little actual substance. The talented Johansson becomes an emotional-less soul-less drug addicted killer leaving a trail of dead bodies and reeking havoc & destruction in the wake of senseless violence. The lunacy of the mass mayhem is laughable at times. The action thrills seems to occur just for action sake and not necessarily a plot point.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "CPH4" stars out of 4.
