Lucy (2014) 8/10

Starring : Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman
Director : Luc Besson
Running Time : 89 mins

After finding herself unwittingly involved with a group of Chinese gangsters, Lucy (Johansson) has a bag of drugs stitched into her body and is forced to become a drug mule, but when the bag bursts and releases the drugs into her system she soon discovers that the drug increases her brain capacity to ten times that of a normal human being, transforming her into an amoral killing machine.

This starts out great, with a surprising twist as Lucy is dragged into the world of a drug mule, then finds herself obtaining bizarre abilities from the drugs in question. Johansson is fantastic in the lead and the movie progresses perfectly, almost until the very end when time travel gets involved and ruins everything. If the ending had have been slightly different, or less ridiculous, then this could have been a five star movie.
