At best it’s a guilty pleasure, with a convincing performance from Johansson who convincingly goes from victim to warrior with the ease of a pro.

With aspirations of being cerebral and cool at the same time, Lucy falls somewhere in the middle. This one isn’t a one-size-fits-all, you could either love it or loathe it. Watch this one only for Scarlett Johansson. And better luck next time, Luc!

If you’re looking for a good Scarlett Johansson movie, you’re better off watching Under the Skin instead.

Overall, despite good production quality, decent visuals, and high action drama, Besson’s fans would be disappointed because of the lack of noir-action drama. For the thinking audience, the same hooks that make the film engaging makes it look ridiculous and absurd.

Lucy won’t stretch your brain capacity…
